RE: unable to create any directory that uses numbers as thedirectory name

Is there any difference if you use the keys on the keypad vs above the
letters?

What are you using to access the machine puTTY? Console? What keyboard
emulation?

When you do mkdir could you add the -v option to see if you get more
info?

Anything change about this server recently? New keyboard...?

I already mentioned mkdir had no alias set.

Thanks

root@server [~]# mkdir 123
mkdir: cannot create directory `123': No such file or directory
root@server [~]# mkdir 0
mkdir: cannot create directory `0': No such file or directory


Filesystem is not in readonly mode becasue I can create dir
with a
mix
of
numbers and aplhabets.

root@server [~]# mkdir 1ab
root@server [~]#


Please advise.

[root@mach2 ~]# mkdir 123
[root@mach2 ~]# ls -ld 123
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Sep 20 09:09 123
[root@mach2 ~]#

I can. Not sure why you cannot.
