Okay, Larry's thinking is confirmed.
$ mkdir /foo.noacl
$ mount -o noacl,binary,notexec //hyperdisk/Data/Engineering/ruck /foo.noacl
$ mkdir /foo.acl
$ mount -o binary,notexec //hyperdisk/Data/Engineering/ruck /foo.acl
$ cd /foo.noacl
$ touch xoo.1
$ cd /foo.acl
$ touch xoo.2
touch: cannot touch `xoo.2': Permission denied
That is, problem shows under /foo.acl (but not under /foo.noacl)
But for what it's worth, my problem does NOT appear when I'm on a 1.7.7
System hitting that same fileserver-directory.
The system WITHOUT the problem is
Windows XP SP3, and uname -a says:
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 HZ4X1C1 1.7.7(0,230/5/3) 2010-08-31 09:58 i686 Cygwin
The system WITH the problem is
Windows 7 SP1, and uname -a says:
CYGWIN_NT-6.1 CND0360JCB 1.7.9(0.237/5/3) 2011-03-29 10:10 i686 Cygwin
I don't know if the differing behavior is due to different Cygwin or due
to different OS.
Also, thanks for the link to using-utils.html#mount !
Thanks,
John
