Could any prefix of that path be a symlink with questionable contents? For example, if /Windows is a symlink to 'c:/' instead of '/cygdrive/c', that might explain the cryptic error message being reported on the pre-symlink expansion name although the name being warned about is post-symlink expansion. At any rate, you are right that it is an awkward message, so it would be nice to get to a root cause of what you did that provoked it to make the message nicer, as well as letting you fix your root cause. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
