This may seem obvious to everyone, but when doing recursive file operations starting at /, you need to remember that /cygdrive will lead you to performing the file operation across whatever network drives you have mapped. (Just as you would under any Unix system when you mounted drives.)
find / -xdev is a good option to remember. In fact it's a good reason not to use the -R option on chown etc., and instead to do find / -xdev -print0 | xargs -0 chmod ... (AFAIK, you can't stop chmod, chown, etc., running across the network if you use -R and start at /.) luke -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
