What does this error mean? "mkdir: foo: Input/output error" ?
Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard, kernel Darwin 9.8.0
Trying to do the following
$ cd /home
$ pwd
/home
$ ls -ld
drwxrwxrwx 4 root wheel 3 Oct 25 15:52 .
$
$ mkdir foo
mkdir: foo: Input/output error
$
$ df -k

map auto_home 0 0 0 100% /home
$
Can anyone tell me what's wrong that I can't create a simple file in /home?
If I do the same as sudo I get the same error.
I saw a post that seemed related but it was slightly a different problem:
