hi all.
OS info:
RHEL 4 update 3
hard desk SATA 250GB W/D.
/dev/sda6 mounted on /media/repo

i can create or move, folder or file under repo directory, but i can't do that with any sub directory under /media/repo.

i change permission to 777 but i can't create any thing.

look at this

[root@personal ~]# whoami
root
[root@personal ~]# mkdir /media/repo/movie/test
mkdir: cannot create directory `/media/repo/movie/test': Permission denied
[root@personal ~]# mkdir /media/repo/test
[root@personal ~]#

can u help me.

change the permission to the /media/repo/movie dir to 777. that must be your problem since you can create a file in /media/repo and not in the movie dir.

i know that.
this command chmod -R 777 /media/repo/ change permission all sub directories.

but i can't create file or directory.

thanks.

what is the output of the "ls -l /media/repo", "lsattr /dedia/repo" and "df -kh /media/repo" ?

[root@personal ~]# ls -l /media/repo/

===============

No problem with another distro e.g ( SuSE 10.2 - SLES - FC6 - ubuntu 6.10 ).

please help me.

Everything looks fine to me. Can you reboot the system in the Single user mode and run fsck on the /dev/sda6 once to check if there is any erro on the drive ?

thank u for your helping.

i don't found any error in hard drive.

I'm waiting .
