Special Forums UNIX and Linux Applications mkdir: cannot create directory Post 302468880 by ./hari.sh on Thursday 4th of November 2010 05:11:03 AM

Please note, this issue is not with mount, I cannot create directory anywhere with a numeric name.
Code:
# pwd
/root
# mkdir a1212
# mv a1212 1212
mv: cannot move `a1212' to `1212': No such file or directory
# rpm -Vv coreutils | grep mkdir
.......T.   /bin/mkdir
......... d /usr/share/man/man1/mkdir.1.gz

---------- Post updated at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous update was at 02:26 PM ----------

Code:
# touch 1111
touch: cannot touch `1111': No such file or directory

Any solution other than re installation?
