linux-2.6.26-rc1, mkdir -p

[John Gumb]

Folks

 

FWIW

 

Mkdir -p seems broken by linux-2.6.26...it's now returning EROFS at
filesystem mount points. So things like mkdir -p /var/log fail if var is
a ramdrive or something. The following seems to fix it. Whether this is
a kernel bug I don't know. It's certainly a change in behaviour.
