I'm baffled as to why this isn't working...

I am 'root'. I have full perms and all that stuff. I use these DBs every
day. Yesterday, I deleted a table that had FKs because I wanted to change a
column name, but couldn't because of the restraint *sigh*. After that I
couldn't re-create the table again. So breaking it down to basic level...

mysql> use mydbB;
mysql> CREATE TABLE foo ( id int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, name
varchar(255) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY id (id) );
ERROR 3 (HY000): Error writing file './mydbB/foo.frm' (Errcode: 5)

mysql> use mydbA;
mysql> CREATE TABLE foo ( id int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, name
varchar(255) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY id (id) );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.04 sec)

All drives have gigabytes free.

"ENGINE=InnoDB" matters not.

What gives?
