Hi, I'm using mkdir with a windows path, and it's not working the way I expect. When I type the following command mkdir -p C:\\Cygwin\\tmp\hello; # cygwin and tmp already exist the directory is created. If I try the following rm -rf C:\\Cygwin\\tmp\\hello mkdir -p C:\\Cygwin\\tmp\\hello\\goodbye I get mkdir : cannot create directory `C:\\MontaVista\\tmp\\hello\\goodbye': No such file or directory Is this the except behavior of mkdir or is there a bug here? I've check the source and noticed that the make_path function only looks for '/' The source I've check is coreutils-5.2-1 and coreutils-5.3-0. Both are doing the same thing.
