hi...
i'm running into a problem where i'm unable to write/create files under the
root '/' dir structure.. i'm not sure what has happened to cause this
behavior... everything was working ok earlier... i can only assume that i
somehow did something to screw something up... i'm logged in as root.. but
get the same behavior as other users..
when i do a df -haT i get:
[test@lserver4 /]$ df -haT
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00

sunrpc rpc_pipefs 0 0 0 - /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs
if i take an existing file, and i change it to chmod 777 foo, then i can
open/write the file using 'vi'. however, i can't seem to create a new file,
or open up any existing file for write, using gnome/edit...
any idea/pointers in what may have caused this behavior, or what i can do to
get back the ability to create new files, edit/write files..???
the system is kind of useless if i can't do basic file edit!!
thanks
