ls with size eq 0

I have 4 pizza boxes with cent0s installed and each on have a size of 0 when I do an ls and the directory I am concerned about is the /home. I cannot mkdir a directory or file in this /home directory. I get a message similar to this.
mkdir: cannot create directory ..... no such file or directory.
Thanks
Jim

Are you allowed to do a ls there ie. are the permission set accordingly? Depends on which user you are, there are ownership & permissions on files and directories like for the "user", "group" and "others" and rights like "(r)ead, (w)rite, e(x)ecute". Check also man pages for chown and chmod maybe.
Btw, you can only mkdir a directory, not file. Files can be "touch"ed.
