This is a followup to: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-03/msg00345.html
To recap, making three nested directories on a non-C drive produces a third level which is unusable. davec@MERCURYWIN ~/python $ rm -rf g1 davec@MERCURYWIN ~/python $ mkdir g1 g1/g2 g1/g2/g3 davec@MERCURYWIN ~/python $ ls -la g1 g1/g2 g1/g2/g3 g1: total 12 drwxrwxr-x+ 1 davec None 0 Mar 16 20:23 ./ drwxrwx---+ 1 davec Users 0 Mar 16 20:23 ../ drwsrwsr-t+ 1 davec None 0 Mar 16 20:23 g2/ g1/g2: total 0 drwsrwsr-t+ 1 davec None 0 Mar 16 20:23 ./ drwxrwxr-x+ 1 davec None 0 Mar 16 20:23 ../ d--Srws--T+ 1 davec None 0 Mar 16 20:23 g3/ ls: cannot open directory 'g1/g2/g3': Permission denied The problem went away with Cygwin 2.5.0-0.7 but is back with 2.5.1-1, and goes away when I downgrade back to 2.5.0-1 More info: I tested on a couple of external drives and things worked properly there. Can I have screwed up the permissions on my D drive so that cygwin gets confused but Windows still works? thanks -- 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
