FAT32 disk:
( /cygdrive/d/ -> used for $TEMP and /tmp, windows page files... )
To me, all this looks as sideeffects of one famous win-dos'ism; files that
has names w trailing dots -> strange things happen.
Or might it still be something strange in cygwin that fails:
$ mkdir /tmp/test
$ echo -n >/tmp/test/__db.bugaboo.
$ ls -lR /tmp/test/
/tmp/test/:
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 Hannu 0 Apr 27 19:42 __db.bugaboo.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] / bash (P)PID=(556)1604, s=0
$ rm -rf /tmp/test/
^-- HANG! CTRL-C brings back the prompt
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 P450 1.5.10s(0.114/4/2) 20040420 11:21:06 i686 unknown unknown
Cygwin
Attempting to delete/rename from Explorer at this point is futile; did the
above leave a "lock" on it?
[reboot] then attempting to delete the file from Explorer;
---------------------------
Error Deleting File or Folder
---------------------------
Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Attempt to rename:
---------------------------
Error Renaming File or Folder
---------------------------
Cannot rename file: Cannot read from the source file or disk.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Now: Seems to me that this is a pure Windows problem.
[reboot] -> DOS prompt
D:\> D:
D:\> cd temp
D:\temp\> deltree /y
...
...did the trick.
Might it work from any cmd/command prompt using *short* filenames?
