...anyone have any guesses why rename() can't rename files in the same directory, if the directory is an NFS mount? This causes 'ar' to fail with the error: ar: unable to rename 'libcloudobj.a' reason: Invalid cross-device link I see this in strace with both 'ar' and 'mv': 46 371094 [main] ar 2588 rename: -1 = rename (h:\<...path...>\src\objects\stWBl4pj, h:\<...path...>\src\objects\libcloudobj.a) This seems to happen when the file already exists, but rename() only fails on NFS mounts (not local drives). Is this a problem with 'ar', or Cygwin's rename()? -- Matthew HIPPOS feel unacknowledged.
