i cant create a directory hierarchy using the following command mkdir -p a/b/c/d in /Home directory . but it works fine in other directories ...

Do you have the proper permissions to create the directories?
Error messages?

Kind regards

yes i have executed the command as the root user . when i execute the command, i did not get any error message or any other messages; just like on successful execution of 'mkdir' command. but later on execution of ls command, i found out that no such directories were created.

Also, do this

Code:

mkdir -p /home/a/b/c
echo $?

the echo cmd rtns the status (& possibly a msg) about the last cmd run.
Incidentally, given *nix is case sensitive, are you mixing home & Home ?
