Hi, Windows 7. uname -a gives: CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 Dalea 1.7.9(0.237/5/3) 2011-03-29 10:10 i686 Cygwin
Recently lost ability to do "ls" in directory /cygdrive/c. $ cd /cygdrive/c $ ls ls: reading directory .: Permission denied This occurred while I was copying a directory (using cpio -p) to /cygdrive/c. Not sure what went wrong; all was fine before. When I did "cd /cygdrive; ls -l" I got: drwx------+ 1 ???????? ???????? 0 Nov 28 17:03 c drwx------+ 1 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 Nov 28 16:23 d drwx------+ 1 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 Nov 28 16:23 e drwx------+ 1 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 Nov 28 16:59 f drwxr-xr-x 1 psuadm None 0 Jan 1 1980 i c, d, e, and f are volumes on the two local hard drives. It is possible that permissions on "c" were d---------+, not drwx------+; I started changing things before doing a careful assessment of the initial state. >From the standpoint of Windows security, the owner of C: was (I believe) TrustedInstaller. Is that correct, or should it be SYSTEM? Not sure how I caused this and, once I did, I discovered I don't know how the heck to fix it. Any help would be much appreciated. -Mike -- 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
