root@server [~]# mkdir 1
mkdir: cannot create directory `1': No such file or directory
root@server [~]# mkdir 12
mkdir: cannot create directory `12': No such file or directory
root@server [~]# mkdir 1a2
root@server [~]#



Actual results:
======================
mkdir: cannot create directory `1': No such file or directory


Expected results:
======================

Additional Info:
==================
root@server [~]# ll $(which mkdir)
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 25060 Sep 19 15:46 /bin/mkdir*
root@server [~]# rpm -qf $(which mkdir)
coreutils-5.2.1-31.6
root@server [~]#
root@server [~]# mount -a
root@server [~]#

FSType = ext3

How come your /bin/mkdir dates from 19-Sep?

Could you give us the output of
# file `which mkdir`
# mount | grep your-filesystem
# lsattr -d ~

What happens when you create a directory with an alphanumerical name,
and then move it to a numerical directory?

Kind regards,

Herta
