Bug NFS share error

I got a problem while creating files on a NFS mounted share in a RHEL box. That is when I create an empty file, this is what appears on the screen

###############################################
E325: ATTENTION
Found a swap file by the name ".test.swp"
owned by: jsmith dated: Tue Mar 14 08:48:04 2006
[cannot be read]
While opening file "test"

(1) Another program may be editing the same file.
If this is the case, be careful not to end up with two
different instances of the same file when making changes.
Quit, or continue with caution.

(2) An edit session for this file crashed.
If this is the case, use ":recover" or "vim -r test"
to recover the changes (see ":help recovery").
If you did this already, delete the swap file ".test.swp"
to avoid this message.

Swap file ".test.swp" already exists!
[O]pen Read-Only, (E)dit anyway, (R)ecover, (Q)uit, (A)bort, (D)elete

################################################

The thing to note here is it is not the case of people opening the same file at the same time...here it is something else? Is vi editor crashing? Am not sure? Can anyone help?Smilie

The issue is likely caused by stalled NFS handle or network latency. Do as deniscruze has advised.
