Hi !
I encounter a strange problem on one system where, in one local UFS
filesystem (/export/home) I cannot create any directory or subdirectory even
when I'm root:
# mkdir /export/home/xx
mkdir: Failed to make directory "/export/home/xx"; Invalid argument
The system is an E10K domain running Solaris 8 (with latest cluster patches)
The filesystem is UFS build on top of a Disksuite mirrored metadevice.
I can create files there - no problem
# df -e .
Filesystem ifree
/dev/md/dsk/d70 487636
# df -k .
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/md/dsk/d70 1986439 11919 1914927 1% /export/home
As you can see there is plenty of inodes and disk space free there.
Automounter is not running
I checked the /usr/bin/mkdir against the Solaris Fingerprint database and
found it O.K. (not trojaned or anything)
(and the additional libraries)
# ldd /usr/bin/mkdir
libgen.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgen.so.1
libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1
libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
/usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise-10000/lib/libc_psr.so.1
#
I found on archives a summary from someone who had the same problem and
solved by copying the mkdir binary from another system, but in my case the
problem appeared out of the blue, no patching occurred since the moment was
working and the moment was not.
What can be ?
# truss -f -wall -rall /usr/bin/mkdir xx
