Subject: [CentOS] mkdir Fail when
creating multiple directories
Hi, I use the program Unison to synchronize two servers and
have been having a problem recently with errors saying mkdir failed.
The program tries to make backup copies of any file it is
going to overwrite before it actually does the sync. The backups have been
failing because of the mkdir failure. To try and find the problem, I logged in
as root and then tried the same command that unison was trying and it failed
for me also. I can't seem to get mkdir to create more than one directory at a
time which is a real problem for unison, because sometimes the file to be
backed up is 5 or 6 directories deep. Does anyone know why this could
happen? I am running CentOS 4.0 with all the available security updates
applied.
Thank You,
Mike Elkevizth
