------------------------------------------------------------------------ Both of your comments are a bit over my head. I'll put in an honest effort to figure out what you mean, and then reply with results. It seems you are suspicious of the mount... that a defective mount WOULD interfere when the target is expressed one way, and WOULDNOT interfere when the target is expressed the other way. Meanwhile -- hopefully my presentation was clear... When I use only forward slashes THEN I get bad permissions and fail. Bad: touch ./zoo.4 Bad: touch //hyperdisk/Data/Engineering/ruck/zoo.6 If I refer to the target with at least some backslash in the path, all is good. Good: touch .\\zoo.5 Good: touch //hyperdisk/Data/Engineering/ruck\\zoo.7 And from the straces, line 202 differs -- the "Bad" case is using normalize_posix_path, the "Good" case is using normalize_win32_path. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ strace.out (fail case, touch $(pwd)/zoo.6) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 201 44 33624 [main] touch 6444 normalize_posix_path: src //hyperdisk/Data/Engineering/ruck/zoo.6 202 40 33664 [main] touch 6444 normalize_posix_path: //hyperdisk/Data/Engineering/ruck/zoo.6 = normalize_posix_path (//hyperdisk/Data/Engineering/ruck/zoo.6) 203 49 33713 [main] touch 6444 mount_info::conv_to_win32_path: conv_to_win32_path (//hyperdisk/Data/Engineering/ruck/zoo.6) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ strace.7.out (success case, touch $(pwd)\\zoo.7) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 201 38 35785 [main] touch 6840 normalize_posix_path: src //hyperdisk/Data/Engineering/ruck\zoo.7 202 39 35824 [main] touch 6840 normalize_win32_path: \\hyperdisk\Data\Engineering\ruck\zoo.7 = normalize_win32_path (//hyperdisk/Data/Engineering/ruck\zoo.7) 203 39 35863 [main] touch 6840 mount_info::conv_to_win32_path: conv_to_win32_path (//hyperdisk/Data/Engineering/ruck/zoo.7) -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
