Hi folks!
Strange things are happinging some times, and here we have a new. :-)
We have a machine with five partitions mounted. One of those partitions is /usr. We can created files on /usr, but we cannot created directories. mkdir says, that there is no space left on device, but there actually IS space as you can see and files can be created, so why NO directories? Is it the kernel, is it the filesystem, is it the full moon high in the sky? :-) I have no clue, but maybe you have... Any help/idea is welcome!
Please have a look at this log:
