Hi,
This report originates from a ticket created on Fish Github account here:
https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/2590
The issue is, that for some reason, running fish shell fails with
PermissionDenied error if the home directory is a Windows Junction.
This is what I get when I run fish in my setup:
marcin@BENEK /c/tmp
→ fish
<E> fish: Unable to rename file from
'/home/marcin/.config/fish/fishd.tmp.QvV0Fd' to
'/home/marcin/.config/fish/fishd.BENEK.x86_64': Permission denied
<E> fish: Unable to rename file from
'/home/marcin/.config/fish/fishd.tmp.Os5Tmd' to
'/home/marcin/.config/fish/fishd.BENEK.x86_64': Permission denied
<E> fish: Unable to rename file from
'/home/marcin/.config/fish/fishd.tmp.3Bop6u' to
'/home/marcin/.config/fish/fishd.BENEK.x86_64': Permission denied
I have my cygwin home directory created as a junction to a folder on another
disk, which is managed by OneDrive. This is how this looks from cmd.exe side:
c:\tools\cygwin\home>dir
Volume in drive C is SYSTEM
Volume Serial Number is 1AD1-BCDF
Directory of c:\tools\cygwin\home
14.04.2018 00:53 <DIR> .
14.04.2018 00:53 <DIR> ..
11.11.2017 23:45 <JUNCTION> marcin [d:\OneDrive\tools\CYGWIN_HOME]
0 File(s) 0 bytes
3 Dir(s) 77 744 492 544 bytes free
The junction was create with `mklink` command as below:
mklink /J marcin d:\OneDrive\tools\CYGWIN_HOME
What you can see below is an excerpt from the `strace fish > log 2>&1` command.
The bigger trace is available here:
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=09852752977194690660 and contains
the whole `strace` log up to the point when it just starts logging identical
errors.
The interesting part seems to be this:

We have „not a symlink” response, followed by a failing rename call.
All other Cygwin tools work correctly. I can manually rename the files using
`mv`. This does not seem to be ACL / access issue, or at least not for any
other tools I use, and I use Cygwin in this setup for years. Earlier, the
junction was to a Dropbox-managed folder, now it’s OneDrive-managed one. This
however seems not to make any difference, and it seems that the Junction is the
main issue.
Please also have a look at the Github Ticket, perhaps you’ll find more details
in there.
I’ll be happy to provide more information/logs/etc if required.
