Patha, I think you've received enough pointers here already.
If you're logged in as root and you can't even write into a directory, it's pretty likely that either - the device is mounted read-only (check with mount -l) - the device is somewhat corrupted (either the device or the RAID-controller) When using RAID, use a corresponding tool to check the healthyness. When using a RAID-controller, there sould be tools available from the manufacturer of the raid-sontroller. Alternatively, you could also get smartmon-tools and, if your device is supported, check the device-status with "smartmon --all" However, if you're not the server-admin, my suggestion is that you forward your request to the server-admin - he should be able to tell you why you can't write into said directory. Anyhow, this whole issue seems not be a Tomcat-issue.
