-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Eric Blake on 5/27/2005 6:38 AM: > A new release of coreutils, 5.3.0-6, is available. > > This release changes dd(1) to default to binary mode, and adds command > line options iflag=text and oflag=text to specify binary. It also fixes > mkdir(1) and install(1) to respect the new meaning of // and //server > introduced in cygwin 1.5.17. Therefore, http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_toc.html#TOC45 is out of date, and we need a FAQ update. It is now possible to do `mkdir -p //MACHINE/Share/path/to/new/dir' and everything just works fine! However, `mkdir -p \\\\machine\\share\\path' fails, because coreutils expects Unix path names, not Windows style. So it is probably worth rewording this FAQ to point out why using \ doesn't always do what the user expects. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
