It looks to me as though cygwin does not completely close files
it opens in shared folders. The bug could also be in Samba, Linux or
me, but my evidence convinces me the problem is, at least, in cygwin.
There are lots of workarounds, so I am reporting this as a good citizen and
not because I need help.
Here is a recipe:
On a Linux computer there is an excitable file, /tmp/,bug. It contains
one line: "echo 1202",
The file is made available to a Windows 2000 computer via Samba. Under cygwin
the file is /z/tmp/,bug.
Use the Microsoft Windows Explorer to copy the file, or to open with Notepad
and then close it.
From Linux do: /tmp/,bug: Works fine.
From cygwin do: cat /tmp/,bug
From Linux do: /tmp/,bug: Get error message: "Text file busy",
My environment is:
Linux:
Red Hat Linux release 6.2 (Piglet)
VA Linux release 6.2.3 07/28/00 b1.1 P2
Kernel 2.2.14-VA.5.1smp on a 2-processor i686
Samba: samba-2.0.7-4
