Strange things are happinging some times, and here we have a new. :-) We have a machine with five partitions mounted. One of those partitions is /usr. We can created files on /usr, but we cannot created directories. mkdir says, that there is no space left on device, but there actually IS space as you can see and files can be created, so why NO directories? Is it the kernel, is it the filesystem, is it the full moon high in the sky? :-) I have no clue, but maybe you have... Any help/idea is welcome! Please have a look at this log: uname -a Linux apache2.dev.xxx.at 2.4.18-3 #1 Thu Apr 18 07:37:53 EDT 2002 i686 unknown mount -l /dev/sda7 on / type ext3 (rw) [/] none on /proc type proc (rw) /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw) [/boot] none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) /dev/sda6 on /tmp type ext3 (rw) [/tmp] /dev/sda2 on /usr type ext3 (rw) [/usr] /dev/sda5 on /var/log type ext3 (rw) [/var/log] df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda7 10G 1.9G 8.0G 19% / /dev/sda1 38M 15M 21M 40% /boot none 504M 0 503M 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda6 243M 103M 128M 45% /tmp /dev/sda2 4.8G 703M 3.8G 16% /usr /dev/sda5 648M 19M 597M 3% /var/log /usr cd /usr mkdir test mkdir: cannot create directory `test': No space left on device cd /tmp mkdir test ls drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 May 7 09:08 test mkdir --version mkdir (fileutils) 4.1 Written by David MacKenzie.
