Hi Binand:
This is getting curioser. I tried rm -fr /misc. I get no error message but
the directory stays put. I checked lsattr -a /misc as suggested by sreangsu.
I get the message:
lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on misc/.
------------misc/..
Same msg as above for chattr -i /misc
I could do without the /misc directory but this could happen to other
directories and I would want to know how to deal with it. I haven't touched it
since I installed RH6.2 yesterday
Thanks to you and sreangsu - still looking for help

OK - Let us start at the beginning:
You have have a /misc as this:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Nov 14 09:59 misc
And you cannot create files in it?
Why is the size of the directory reported as zero??
Try recreating the directory - rm -fr /misc; mkdir /misc.
