Hello, I recently upgraded to Cygwin 1.7. Since the upgrade, I started having issues with accessing Novell volumes. These issues are possibly similar to those seen by Avi Shwartz in his other threads. I'm too dumb to figure out how I can reply to those other threads so my apologies for creating another one. But I figured having another person with the same issue might be useful for getting to the bottom of the problem.
All of the Novell volumes are having the same issues, but I'll use the H: drive to show the problem. I can perform an "ls" with no problems, but "ls -l" and "cd" fail as shown below: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 34...@tcom-nfo-16 ~ $ ls /cygdrive/h Citrix_docs Favorites My Wallpapers Workspace workbench Default.rdp My Documents Notes notes.ini 34...@tcom-nfo-16 ~ $ ls -l /cygdrive/h ls: cannot access /cygdrive/h: Input/Output error 34...@tcom-nfo-16 ~ $ cd /cygdrive/h -bash: cd: /cygdrive/h: Not a directory -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is a comparison of a local NTFS volume versus the Novell drive mentioned above: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 34...@tcom-nfo-16 ~ $ /usr/lib/csih/getVolInfo /cygdrive/c Device Type : 7 Characteristics : 20 Volume Name : <> Serial Number : 2289774672 Max Filenamelength : 255 Filesystemname : <NTFS> Flags : 700ff FILE_CASE_SENSITIVE_SEARCH : TRUE FILE_CASE_PRESERVED_NAMES : TRUE FILE_UNICODE_ON_DISK : TRUE FILE_PERSISTENT_ACLS : TRUE FILE_FILE_COMPRESSION : TRUE FILE_VOLUME_QUOTAS : TRUE FILE_SUPPORTS_SPARSE_FILES : TRUE FILE_SUPPORTS_REPARSE_POINTS: TRUE FILE_SUPPORTS_REMOTE_STORAGE: FALSE FILE_VOLUME_IS_COMPRESSED : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_OBJECT_IDS : TRUE FILE_SUPPORTS_ENCRYPTION : TRUE FILE_NAMED_STREAMS : TRUE FILE_READ_ONLY_VOLUME : FALSE FILE_SEQUENTIAL_WRITE_ONCE : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_TRANSACTIONS : FALSE 34...@tcom-nfo-16 ~ $ /usr/lib/csih/getVolInfo /cygdrive/h Device Type : 7 Characteristics : 30 Volume Name : <USER42> Serial Number : 167843373 Max Filenamelength : 255 Filesystemname : <NWFS> Flags : 2 FILE_CASE_SENSITIVE_SEARCH : FALSE FILE_CASE_PRESERVED_NAMES : TRUE FILE_UNICODE_ON_DISK : FALSE FILE_PERSISTENT_ACLS : FALSE FILE_FILE_COMPRESSION : FALSE FILE_VOLUME_QUOTAS : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_SPARSE_FILES : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_REPARSE_POINTS: FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_REMOTE_STORAGE: FALSE FILE_VOLUME_IS_COMPRESSED : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_OBJECT_IDS : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_ENCRYPTION : FALSE FILE_NAMED_STREAMS : FALSE FILE_READ_ONLY_VOLUME : FALSE FILE_SEQUENTIAL_WRITE_ONCE : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_TRANSACTIONS : FALSE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Output from "mount" if it is helpful: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ mount C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto) C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) F: on /cygdrive/f type nwfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) G: on /cygdrive/g type nwfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) H: on /cygdrive/h type nwfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) Q: on /cygdrive/q type nwfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) Y: on /cygdrive/y type nwfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cygwin Version information: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.1 TCOM-NFO-16 1.7.1(0.218/5/3) 2009-12-07 11:48 i686 Cygwin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I did not include a trace here but I can do so if it is helpful.
