Good afternoon!
Does Cygwin do a silly rename if a Cygwin file is open but gets
/bin/rm at the same time?
What I see is that on a NFSv4.1 filesystem a
bash -c 'touch sillytest ; ls -l ; ( command exec {n}<"sillytest" ;
print $n ; sleep 10) & sleep 1 ; ls -la ; rm -f sillytest ; ls -la ;
wait'
will send invalid characters over the network.
At first I thought it's a bug in the ms-nfs41-client filesystem
driver, but if I replace the rm -f sillytest with a cmd /C "del
sillytest" the garbage filename data goes away:
bash -c 'touch sillytest ; ls -l ; ( command exec {n}<"sillytest" ;
printf "fd=%d\n" $n ; sleep 10) & sleep 1 ; ls -la ; cmd /C "del
sillytest" ; ls -la ; wait'
I think doing a /bin/rm on an opened file causes Cygwin to rename the
file, but the destination file name is corrupted or comes from
uninitialized memory.
