I have a vanilla 1.7.7 installation on Windows XP Professional which is a standalone machine not in a domain. The /etc/passwd and /etc/group files have been refreshed from scratch.
The system has a remote file system (Samba) mounted as F: via the normal Windows mechanism for mapping network drives. With the default /etc/fstab file which has no specific mounts, the mount command shows $ 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 smbfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) and ls -l of /cygdrive/f shows $ ls -l /cygdrive/f total 2048 drwxrwxr-x 36 ???????? ???????? 0 2010-10-04 16:30 builds drwxrwxr-x 17 ???????? ???????? 0 2010-10-04 15:23 releases If instead, I map F: to /cygdrive/c with the following entry in /etc/fstab F: /cygdrive/f smbfs binary,noacl 0 0 mount shows $ 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) F: on /cygdrive/f type smbfs (binary,noacl) C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) And ls -l of /cygdrive/f shows $ ls -l /cygdrive/f total 2048 drwxrwxr-x 36 ???????? ???????? 0 2010-10-04 16:30 builds drwxrwxr-x 17 ???????? ???????? 0 2010-10-04 15:23 releases If instead I now map F: to /repos1 via the following in /etc/fstab F: /repos1 smbfs binary,noacl 0 0 Mount shows $ 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) F: on /repos1 type smbfs (binary,noacl) C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) And ls -l of repos1 shows $ ls -l /repos1 total 2048 drwxr-xr-x 36 ahall None 0 2010-10-04 16:30 builds drwxr-xr-x 17 ahall None 0 2010-10-04 15:23 releases Why am I getting -1 for the uid and gid when I mount to /cygdrive/f but not to /repos1?
