Consider: mw1g017@MW1G17C% ls -l d:bash.strace -rw-r--r-- 1 mw1g017 ITS 7828140 Oct 11 20:09 d:bash.strace mw1g017@MW1G17C% pwd /cygdrive/d/temp mw1g017@MW1G17C% cygpath -a -u d:bash.strace /cygdrive/d/bash.strace mw1g017@MW1G17C% ls -l /cygdrive/d/bash.strace ls: /cygdrive/d/bash.strace: No such file or directory The x:path is treated by Windows as "relative to current directory of drive x". Instead, cygpath treats it as "relative to root directory of drive x". See the difference? BTW windows path as reported by cygpath is also wrong: mw1g017@MW1G17C% cygpath -a -w d:bash.strace d:bash.strace This is not an absolute path. -andrej Have a nice DOS!
