On a Solaris 8 system running fine for two months, I suddenly get this:

# touch /etc/foo
touch: cannot create /etc/foo: Operation not applicable

Truss says:
creat("/etc/foo", 0666) Err#89 ENOSYS

I also noted truncated files in /etc.

There is nothing interesting in the system log. System is a V210 running
Solaris 8 with recommended patches from feb. 28 2005. Root filesystem is
mirrored using SVM.

Thanks,
