After upgrading to 1.5.10, I'm seem to be having a problem creating files on network drives using tar. For quite a while now (a couple of years, at least), I've been using tar to back up several directories to a network share, and had no problems up through version 1.5.9. However, with 1.5.10-3, I get the message
tar: /cygdrive/m/test.tar: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now when I issue the command tar -cf /cygdrive/m/test.tar test where test is a directory with a few files in it. Now, it doesn't appear to be a permission problem as I can cd to /cygdrive/m and create files with touch or vim, delete files, copy files, etc. The network drives are hosted by Windows servers running either NT or 2K. I tried removing smbntsec from the CYGWIN env var, but that made no difference. I also tried the latest snapshot with the same results. Reverting to 1.5.9, however, fixes the problem. I did try googling the mailing list archives, but most of what I found was related to accessing network shares after sshing to a remote node. It appears to me that this might be related to http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-06/msg00014.html but I wasn't sure so I started a new thread. Cygcheck output attached.
