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

How about:

mkdir /abc
mv /abc /123

What's in var/log/messages, secure....

ls -l /bin/mkdir

Just throwing stuff out there.

Regards, Marshall

root@server52 [~]# unalias mkdir

Thanks

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

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.
