Mount gives: Z: on /cygdrive/z type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) It's an ordinary LAN share on another local Windows box, mapped to drive Z: via "Map network drive" in Explorer (Win7). I have full permissions. You are more than welcome to read the strace output if that'll give you a clue (it doesn't give me one). All 1.7 MBytes of it are at http://nerdfever.com/files/strace.txt (That comes from "strace git clone https://github.com/nerdfever/pic32mx-bmf >strace.txt") I'm still stumped. -- 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
