Do you have the autofs daemon running, and does your /etc/auto.master
file reference mounting devices on /misc, using the definitions in
/etc/auto.misc? Once upon a time, RedHat Linux used autofs to
dynamically mount the CDROM on /misc/cdrom; if you've got an older
system that's been upgraded, you might still have a remnant of that
style of configuration. If you run "ps aux | grep automount", it will
show you which mappings are active; if you see something like
"/usr/sbin/automount --timeout=60 /misc program /etc/auto.misc" you've
found the culprit.

Hi,
I've installed a FC6 xen guest system and there is a /misc folder
which I want to create files and directories. I get a permission
denied when I try to do so even when I am root.
# pwd
/misc
# mkdir test
mkdir: cannot create directory `test': Permission denied
When I do a directoy listing on /, misc is 0 bytes.
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Nov 21 13:24 misc
I have listed the disk space usage and the fstab below.

I'm not sure if this issue happens only on FC6 xen but I am able to
create files and directories on a FC5 xen system.
