If you use the mkdir to create a directory inside a directory you would get an error,
# mkdir dir1/dir2
mkdir: cannot create directory 'dir1/dir2': No such file or directory
To create a nested directories like dir1/dir2 you need to pass in an optional argument -p or --parents along with it.
Example:
# mkdir -p dir1/dir2/dir3
