(1) I have two managed mounts: @lester:~% mount C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts type system (binmode) e:\Carchive\cygwin\managed on /cygdrive/e/Carchive/cygwin/managed type system (binmode,managed) c:\cygwin\managed on /managed type system (binmode,managed) C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode) c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount) e: on /cygdrive/e type system (binmode,noumount)
Under /managed I can place files as advertised: @lester:/managed% touch tp Tp @lester:/managed% ls -l -rw------- 1 ingber None 0 Nov 27 10:33 Tp -rw------- 1 ingber None 0 Nov 27 10:33 tp However, under /cygdrive/e/Carchive/cygwin/managed I cannot: @lester:/cygdrive/e/Carchive/cygwin/managed% touch tp Tp touch: creating `Tp': No such file or directory @lester:/cygdrive/e/Carchive/cygwin/managed% ls -l total 54435 -rw------- 1 ingber None 0 Nov 27 10:32 tp and only tp appears. Is this because "mount -o managed" only works on the drive holding cygwin/? (2) I don't understand when and why ".lnk" is attached as a suffix when I create soft links. Under a "regular" directory, @lester:~% touch tp @lester:~% ln -s ./tp tpp @lester:~% rm tpp @lester:~% touch tp @lester:~% ln -s ./tp tpa @lester:~% ln -s ./tp tpB @lester:~% ln -s ./tp TPC @lester:~% ls -l lrwxrwxrwx 1 ingber None 86 Nov 27 10:30 TPC -> ./tp -rw------- 1 ingber None 0 Nov 27 10:25 tp lrwxrwxrwx 1 ingber None 86 Nov 27 10:25 tpB -> ./tp lrwxrwxrwx 1 ingber None 86 Nov 27 10:25 tpa -> ./tp However, under a "managed" directory, @lester:/managed% touch tp @lester:/managed% ln -s ./tp tpa @lester:/managed% ln -s ./tp tpB @lester:/managed% ln -s ./tp TPC @lester:/managed% ls -l lrwxrwxrwx 1 ingber None 86 Nov 27 10:28 TPC.lnk -> ./tp -rw------- 1 ingber None 0 Nov 27 10:25 tp lrwxrwxrwx 1 ingber None 86 Nov 27 10:25 tpB.lnk -> ./tp lrwxrwxrwx 1 ingber None 86 Nov 27 10:25 tpa -> ./tp It seems that mixed-case or all upper-case soft-linked filenames take on a ".lnk" suffix, whereas any filesnames with lower-case characters do not?
