When I was running Tiger, I created a /home directory,
and put some important symbolic links in it. When I
upgraded to Leopard, my links had disappeared, and I
could no longer write to the apparently empty /home.
Its permissions had become:
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel
So I added write permissions to make it drwxrwxrwx.
But for some reason, I still couldn't write to it.
I tried becoming root with su before writing to it. I
tried sudoing as I wrote to it (after adding myself to
the wheel group). No matter what I tried, I still
couldn't write to it. Whenever I try to create a file
or symbolic link in /home, I get an "Input/output
error". Curiously, when I reboot, it reverts to its
old permissions (dr-xr-xr-x). But even after I change
the permissions so I should be able to write to it, I
can't.
Can anyone help me figure out how to write to this
friggin' directory?
Thanks much!
David
