Full Discussion: unable to create any directory that uses numbers as the directory name

That's odd.... I can create folders just fine, i.e. mkdir 1 works.
You are root, so you have permissions, it's not nfs mounted folder, no aliases.... hmmm...
can you create normal folder like "mkdir test1" ? What is the status of "echo $?" after it fails ? Can you use "mkdir -p /path/to/1" ?
