Hi Chris -
I always put "." in the front of my path so that as I'm developing an app,
I always pick up the devel version in my current working directory instead
of /usr/local/bin. I know it's not the most secure thing in the world, but
I'm on a stand-alone, single-user system, so the security risks are manageable.
Just to try something, I modified my path to only include "/usr/bin" - no
difference:
tka-16:/cygdrive/p> set path = "/usr/bin"
tka-16:/cygdrive/p> which find
/usr/bin/find
tka-16:/cygdrive/p> find /cygdrive/c -iname win.ini
find: .: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/.backupSettings: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/AUTOEXEC.BAT: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/boot.ini: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/CONFIG.SYS: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/IO.SYS: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/Log.txt: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/MSDOS.SYS: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/NTDETECT.COM: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/ntldr: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/PRIOR_SYSTEM: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/Program Files: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/RECYCLER: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/System Volume Information: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/Temp: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/tomsteady.ini: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/xPos.txt: No such file or directory
Per Eric's suggestion from last week, I did change my mount types to -b:
tka-16:/cygdrive/p> mount -m
mount -f -s -b "D:/CygWIN/bin" "/usr/bin"
mount -f -s -b "D:/CygWIN/lib" "/usr/lib"
mount -f -s -b "D:/CygWIN" "/"
mount -s -b --change-cygdrive-prefix "/cygdrive"
Very strange...

I tried the lastest snapshot cygwin.dll - no changes - find still failed.
So, I bit the bullet and re-installed my Cygwin installation. Same
problem: I can't do a 'find' from a top-level /cygdrive/X directory (and
it seems to affect ONLY 'find' when searching from the top-level
/cygdrive/X mount point).
When I do a 'find' command (in bash or tcsh):
tka-16:/cygdrive/p> find /cygdrive/c -iname cdplayer.ini
find: .: No such file or directory

If I search a specific directory from the /cygdrive/X directory, it works:
tka-16:/cygdrive/p> find /cygdrive/c/windows -iname cdplayer.ini
/cygdrive/c/windows/CDPLAYER.INI
If I do 'find' on the "C:/" directory it works:
tka-16:/cygdrive/p> find C:/ -iname cdplayer.ini
C:/WINDOWS/CDPLAYER.INI
What's interesting is that if I do a 'find' on "/cygdrive/c/.", it also
works!
tka-16:/cygdrive/p> find /cygdrive/c/. -iname cdplayer.ini
/cygdrive/c/./WINDOWS/CDPLAYER.INI
Does this clarify the problem or give more clues as to what might be
going on? Is anyone else having this problem?
Kevin
Well, I've just tested this myself, and the only error I get is the normal
permission denied on system volume information.
I should mention that I updated my cygwin installation on Thursday or
Friday last week..
There are two things I'm wondering though...
Where is this . in your PATH coming from? (it's in your cygcheck output)
Also, have you tried making the /cygdrive/X mounts binmode?
Mine show up in mount like:
c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount)
Might be worth testing it that way?
