Please report *exactly* the commands used and the output produced.

A write error could be caused by a failing disk drive or by a
temporary networking error or by other things.  Look in your system
log (usually /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages or some such
location) and see if there are other errors reported there.

The version of the kernel is not as important as the version of the
utility and the version of the libraries used with it.  Please say
what version of tee you are using.  The following will do this.

  tee --version | head -n1

  ldd --version | head -n1
