Interoperabily with native tools was never a stated goal of Cygwin project.

As I said, if you fix /cygdrive mount options to include noacl flag, permissions control will be deferred to operating system. This will amend some of the interoperability issues. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Friday, March 27, 2020 18:19:43 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
