Thanks to Elvio, Casper, Frank, Darren, Mike, and Douglas for sharing their
technical skills. Most agreed that this is hardware related, rather than a
filesystem issue because I got EIO and not EMLINK. Many suggested to verify
permissions and also to umount and fsck the partition. Nobody could have
guessed it was the carelessness factor at work.
On closer inspection, I noticed that this partition had a larger total size as
reported by 'df -k' than other partitions of the same type. All of these have
identical VTOCs, with slice 7 reserved for a metadb. When I did the original
mkfs, I must have passed the wrong partition (s2?) as an argument. I umount'd
this disk, dumped the files, and re-mkfs'd it. The output of 'df -k' shows the
same size as the others, so I put the data back and remounted /app. Now, I make
all the directories I want, and my application is running like a charm.
It's always the little things....
Many thanks,
-Sal

For some reason, I can't create a new directory to save my life. I can make new
files, so it's not a problem with no more inodes. I have output from touch, df
-k/-e, and also the output from truss for the mkdir command. There are no
special switches in vfstab for any mount, and /etc/mnttab shows this:
# grep app /etc/mnttab
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 /app ufs
rw,intr,largefiles,onerror=panic,suid,dev=800008 1107991919
There is no problem creating directories on any other filesystem on this box.
Many thanks in advance,
-Sal
