Hi I think my problem appeared after upgrading to cygwin 1.7.7 but it might have been present before that as well, I am not sure.
I'm using a file share with Offline Folders such that I can access it when not connected to our intranet. In cygwin I cannot remove any files that I create on the share when it's offline: $ touch /xxx/testfile $ rm /xxx/testfile rm: cannot remove `/xxx/testfile': Permission denied I can create/modify the files without trouble, but not delete them. I can delete the file with Windows Explorer. getfacl doesn't show anything strange. I can delte the file once the file share gets @connected@ again. Everything works fine on my local disks. This happens both when specifying the file share, or when using a drive letter: $ mount //fileserver/myusername$ /xxx $ mount h: /xxx Some extra info: $ net use New connections will be remembered. Status Local Remote Network ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK H: \\fileserver\myusername$ Microsoft Windows Network The command completed successfully. after mounting the file share explicitly $ mount |grep xxx //fileserver/myusername$ on /xxx type ntfs (binary,notexec,user) Anyone any suggestions?
