Please bear with me, I am not sure if I am on the same page as you.
1) I can see the mount. I can make it my working directory. I can view
files in it. I can even remove some files from it. This is all from
the remote ssh session.
2) I downloaded WinObj, and am trying to use it. I see no entries in
\Sessions\0\DosDevices that link to my Clearcase volume (M:).
\GLOBAL??\M: is a link to \Device\mvfs on my system. In Cygwin, m: was
mounted on /cygdrive/m. All my tests are nested deeply in
/cygdrive/m... Eg:
SSH$ echo $SSH_CONNECTION;pwd;cp README.txt NEWFILE.txt;ls NEWFILE.txt
10.100.10.74 34389 10.100.3.212 22
/cygdrive/m/mbenedict_smira_dev_view/PRODUCT_DEVELOPMENT/SCE/S_MIRA/mira
_dev/ADLC
cp: cannot create regular file `NEWFILE.txt': Permission denied
/bin/ls: NEWFILE.txt: No such file or directory
LOCAL$ echo $SSH_CONNECTION;pwd;cp README.txt NEWFILE.txt;ls NEWFILE.txt
/cygdrive/m/mbenedict_smira_dev_view/PRODUCT_DEVELOPMENT/SCE/S_MIRA/mira
_dev/ADLC
NEWFILE.txt
I don't exactly understand how I would access my view via the view
drive, I think I only have a view drive(?)
Thank you for your help!
Michael

ClearCase dynamic views are mounted in the console session, not in the
global namespace. e.g. my view slothman_main is mounted on drive S:,
with my MVFS drive as V:, and drive S: only exists in the
\Sessions\0\DosDevices\00000000-0000bff9 as symbolic link from "S:" to
"\??\V:\slothman_main". (You can see this using WinObj:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/WinObj.m
spx .) With sshd running as a service, it's not in the same session as
the console, so it can't see the mount.
I notice that the MVFS drive itself is mounted in the global namespace
(e.g.: \GLOBAL??\V: is a link to \Device\mvfs on my system).
Try accessing your view via the view drive (e.g. using V:\slothman_main
instead of S:); that worked on my system (running 1.5.19).
