With the snapshot 2018-02-14 files with temporary attribute are visible and
deletable.
But still I have directories undeletable using "rm -R" which contain files
with both hidden and temporary attributes set.
Duh. I *knew* I had to remove this "hiding O_TMPFILE files from
readdir" at one point. No wonder I wrote a matching comment right from
the start.
Of course this can't work with rm -r. Given rm doesn't see this file it
never unlinks it, so the parent dir can't be removed.
Clear.
I add this to my List Of Really Bad Ideas.
Still, what files have both attributes set? What application is
creating these files? Apart from Cygwin, of course, but Cygwin
O_TMPFILE files are delete-on-close.
Files with both hidden and temporary attributes on belong to LabView
2015. I found 2 in "C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\NI-DAQmx"
{509E1DB5-B477-49b8-AF59-114DC801074C}RrWr.lock
{509E1DB5-B477-49b8-AF59-114DC801074C}Write.lock
and 3 in
"C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\Shared
Memory\platform\memory\sharedMemoryFiles"
48d09ae7-0894-4c28-ab25-b6f1cdea221f
pimmInternalFloatingSharedHeap
pimmPublicFloatingSharedHeap.
New snapshot up at https://cygwin.com/snapshots
With the snapshot 2018-03-09 all mentioned files are visible by "ls" and
"rm -r" removes directories with them (I do it offline after reboot to
Windows PE).
Thank you.
With greetings
