title: Error touch file Linux: No such file or directory
body: <p>I am running on a 2.6.32 kernel, ext4 filesystem, 64 bit Linux system. I have a directory whose contents are:</p>

  <p>When I try creating a new file, called <code>crospp.7.dat</code> using <code>touch</code> I get a <code>No such file or directory</code> error, but creating a file called <code>crosppp.7.dat</code> works perfectly fine.</p>
  
  <pre><code>[raul.tabacu@fep-62-1 Licenta]$ touch crosspp.7.dat
  touch: cannot touch `crosspp.7.dat': No such file or directory
  [raul.tabacu@fep-62-1 Licenta]$
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am sure that I have the necessary access rights, and that there's no file with that name. An important note, I think, is the following output, directory <code>Licenta</code> being the one I'm trying to create a file into.</p>
  
  <pre><code>[raul.tabacu@fep-62-2 ~]$ ls -ld Licenta
  drwxr-xr-x 9 raul.tabacu studcs --&gt;403&lt;-- 2015-05-05 23:05 Licenta
  [raul.tabacu@fep-62-2 ~]$ cd Licenta
  [raul.tabacu@fep-62-2 Licenta]$ ls -ld
  drwxr-xr-x 9 raul.tabacu studcs --&gt;573&lt;-- 2015-05-05 23:05 .
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does anyone have an idea what could possibly gone so wrong? Thanks.</p>
