Hi Cygwinners, On "XP Mode" on Windows 7 x64 I encounter the identical problem as described in < http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-04/msg00630.html >.
For a host drive mapped as G: <-> \\TSCLIENT\g "ls" yields bash-3.2$ ls /cygdrive/g ls: reading directory /cygdrive/g: Permission denied The same share mapped as Y: <-> \\<real hostname>\g works as desired (because of a huge M$-induced performance penalty this kind of mount is unfortunately not an option for me) Specific Info: bash-3.2$ /usr/lib/csih/getVolInfo /cygdrive/g Device Type : 7 Characteristics : 10 Volume Name : <> Serial Number : 1516020298 Max Filenamelength : 255 Filesystemname : <NTFS> Flags : 3e700ff 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 : TRUE bash-3.2$ /usr/lib/csih/getVolInfo /cygdrive/y Device Type : 7 Characteristics : 10 Volume Name : <> Serial Number : 1516020298 Max Filenamelength : 255 Filesystemname : <NTFS> Flags : c700ff 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 What to do? viele Gruesse Thomas Berger -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
