Hi, Ken Brown noticed this: pagefile.sys and swapfile.sys are being reported by Cygwin 3.5.3 as being directories.
Cygwin 3.5.3 on Windows 10: $ ls -ld /proc/cygdrive/c/pagefile.* drwxr-x--- 17664 Unknown+User Unknown+Group 0 Jan 1 1601 /proc/cygdrive/c/pagefile.sys $ ls -ld /proc/cygdrive/c/swapfile.* drwxr-x--- 17664 Unknown+User Unknown+Group 0 Jan 1 1601 /proc/cygdrive/c/swapfile.sys In Cygwin 2.9.0 and 3.4.6 (also on Windows 10) it was reported as a regular file: $ ls -ld /proc/cygdrive/c/pagefile.* -rw-r----- 1 Unknown+User Unknown+Group 671088640 May 3 01:25 /proc/cygdrive/c/pagefile.sys $ ls -ld /proc/cygdrive/c/swapfile.* -rw-r----- 1 Unknown+User Unknown+Group 268435456 May 3 01:25 /proc/cygdrive/c/swapfile.sys Gnulib is interested in the modification time of this file. Do you agree that it's a bug? Do you have a workaround? In Gnulib we wish to have a way to access this file, that works on all versions of Cygwin.
