That *shouldn't* work. I get:
charles@jhegaala:~$ cp "No space left on device" > No_space_left_on_device.txt
cp: missing destination file operand after 'No space left on device'
Try 'cp --help' for more information.
charles@jhegaala:~$
But I do get a file created with length 0.
Try echo instead of cp:
charles@jhegaala:~$ echo "No space left on device" > No_space_left_on_device.txt
charles@jhegaala:~$ cat No_space_left_on_device.txt
No space left on device
charles@jhegaala:~$ ll No_space_left_on_device.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 charles charles 24 May 14 21:04 No_space_left_on_device.txt
charles@jhegaala:~$
Also, I have no reason to believe from what you've shown that your
current directory is /media/user/60320G593EB7250F. Did you run
cd /media/user/60320G593EB7250F
before running the above commands? I would expect to get an
out-of-space error if I were still on the CD.
