Is this expected behaviour (I'm using the mkdir utility for the example, but the problem occurs using the system call directly): # mkdir . mkdir: .: File exists # mkdir .. mkdir: ..: File exists Now, the unusual one: # mkdir / mkdir: /: Is a directory Shouldn't it say 'file exists'? The mkdir() man page doesn't say that the function can set errno to EISDIR and yet that's what's happening here. FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p7 MC
