Hello, I am trying to run Cygwin from an NFS drive. Everything works fine as long as no symbolic link executables are invoked: $ awk bash: /usr/bin/awk: Permission denied
One option is to invoke the executable pointed to instead. Another is to replace the symbolic link with a hard link. A third is to use SAMBA instead.
The NFS drive does not seem to support the DOS system attribute which makes basic UNIX utilities unavailable. Is there any way to tell Cygwin to ignore the system attribute?
No. If the R/O attribute is supported, then a fourth option would be to convert the symbolic links to their "winsymlinks" format. If course, doing that means you loose UTF character support. See <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html>
