[Fedora-xen] Cannot create files or dirs even as root on FC6 xen system

[Tan Chee Sin]

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.
# df -k
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda1            11904588   1830176   9459928  17% /

LABEL=SWAP-xvda2        swap                    swap    defaults        0 0

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.
