Exactly right. > Please also provide the "cat /mnt/c/file1" and "cat /mnt/c/file2" from UoW. >From the Cygwin shell (note that my Cygwin and Windows home directories are the same: /home/cowan is a Cygwin symlink to /cygdrive/c/Users/cowan): cowan@large-skunk ~ $ echo stuff >file1 cowan@large-skunk ~ $ cat file1 stuff cowan@large-skunk ~ $ ls -l file1 -rw-r--r--+ 1 cowan cowan 6 Apr 13 08:57 file1 >From cmd.exe: c:\Users\cowan>echo stuff >file2 c:\Users\cowan>type file2 stuff >From UoW bash prompt: root@localhost:~# cd /mnt/c/Users/cowan root@localhost:/mnt/c/Users/cowan# cat file1 cat: file1: Permission denied root@localhost:/mnt/c/Users/cowan# cat file2 stuff root@localhost:/mnt/c/Users/cowan# ls -l file1 file2 -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Apr 13 12:57 file1 -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Apr 13 12:57 file2 As you can see, they look exactly the same but are different somehow. What is more, if I use cmd.exe echo to append to file1 and Cygwin echo to append to file2, it changes nothing. Likewise, if I overwrite them completely, it changes nothing. Only if I remove them and re-create them from the "wrong" side does file1 become readable and file2 become unreadable. This is 64-bit Windows on an NTFS file system, but 32-bit Cygwin. I'll try installing Cygwin64 tonight and seeing if that makes any difference. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan co...@ccil.org A: "Spiro conjectures Ex-Lax."
