Subject: [gentoo-user] dir is rwx but can't create file
To: gentoo-user <gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
X-Archives-Salt: 9347fcbc-d4bd-4a47-ba87-60a658afa90b
X-Archives-Hash: c6e31645e003a30a35e68a97d44cdec5

Creating files in /tmp, /etc, /lib32, and /var return ENOENT (touch
/tmp/foo => strerror(ENOENT)).
However, this is done as root and the dirs are marked 755 root:root.
df -i shows only 2% inode usage.
Any explanation as to why a rwx-ed dir can't be written to? This is
breaking quite a few of the init scripts.
