I'm having another problem with 'mkdir -p' in 5.90-2.I have a script that attempts to do "mkdir -p c:/dir1/dir2/dir3". This started failing with a permission denied error for c:/.
I eventually discovered that it also fails using unix paths if the absolute path provided to mkdir starts at the root of a Windows drive. Here's a little example:
% mkdir /tmp/foo % mount e:\\ /tmp/foo % mkdir -p /tmp/foo/bar mkdir: cannot create directory `/tmp/foo': Permission denied % mkdir /tmp/foo/bar (e: is a real drive on my system.)I have my cygdrive prefix set to '/'. Commands like "mkdir -p /c/foo" also failed even though "mkdir /c/foo" succeeded.
This is with a home-built CVS DLL corresponding to the 20051003 snapshot.
