Problems using mkdir

mkdir: directory_name : File exists

There is already a directory with this name in the location in which you are trying to create the new directory.

usage: mkdir [ -p] directory ...

You have entered the mkdir command without giving the name of a directory to be created.

mkdir: pathname : Read-only file system

You do not have permission to make files in this directory. You can only list its contents.
