At first I thought my recent problems with cygwin were limited to the occasional "ls" command listing nothing. Run it again an it works (usually). Now the problems are getting worse. I tried to "rm" a file that I own and it didn't fully delete it. It corrupted it. An ls of the file shows this (that is, when the ls command works).
$ ls -l ls: cannot access bin_dirs.txt: No such file or directory total 14 drwxr-xr-x+ 2 CHamilto Domain Users 0 Feb 9 14:50 ./ drwxr-xr-x+ 19 CHamilto Domain Users 0 Feb 9 14:33 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 CHamilto Domain Users 3196 Feb 9 14:48 all_bin_dirs.txt ??????????? ? ? ? ? ? bin_dirs.txt -rwx------ 1 CHamilto Domain Users 368 Feb 9 14:33 chuck.sh* -rwxrwx--- 1 CHamilto Domain Users 3069 Feb 9 11:06 cleanup_rman.sh* -rw-r--r-- 1 CHamilto Domain Users 1491 Feb 9 14:08 servers -rwxrwx--- 1 CHamilto Domain Users 270 Feb 9 14:50 upload.sh* What is up with that? I can't access or remove the bin_dirs.txt file now with either cygwin or windows. I tried resetting the owner but chown fails too. $ chown "CHamilto:Domain Users" bin_dirs.txt chown: cannot access `bin_dirs.txt': No such file or directory I have tried reinstalling cygwin and coreutils to no avail. Did something happen in a recent release of cygwin to explain this bizarre behavior? I've been using cygwin for years and never experienced anything like this.
