Hi, for simple ascii files I use RCS invoked from Emacs (vc-next-action: `C-x v v'). This works fine on linux file systems (i.e. ext2/3). When the file is located on a vfat partition it doesn't work as expected. To reproduce the error:
On a linux system open emacs with: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ emacs -q --no-site-file & then open a file (`C-x C-f') junk.txt enter something and save it (`C-x C-w /myvatmount/junk.txt') on a _vfat partition_. After saving the file I would like to execute vc-next-action (`C-x v v'; this works with a linux file system as expected). No matter if I answer the following question (whether to create a RCS subdirectory) with "yes" or "no" I end with the following error: ,---- | RCS/junk.txt,v <-- junk.txt | initial revision: 1.1 | ci: RCS/junk.txt,v: Operation not permitted | ci: saved in RCS/,junk.txt, `---- The vfat partition is mounted with "umask=000". Appears to be a case sensitive problem since the directory created is named "rcs" and not "RCS". Is there a workaround for this? ,----[ system info: ] | Linux trurl 2.6.10-5-386 | RCS version 5.7 `---- ,----[ emacs info: ] | In GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.6.4) | of 2005-06-24 on trurl | X server distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.60802000 | configured using `configure '--with-gtk'' | | Important settings: | value of $LC_ALL: nil | value of $LC_COLLATE: nil | value of $LC_CTYPE: nil | value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil | value of $LC_MONETARY: nil | value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil | value of $LC_TIME: nil | value of $LANG: de_DE.UTF-8 | locale-coding-system: utf-8 | default-enable-multibyte-characters: t | | Major mode: Lisp Interaction `---- TIA Patrick -- Snoopy (on being house-trained with a rolled-up newspaper): It does tend however to give one a rather distorted view of the press! _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
