It is indeed a bug in > coreutils/lib/mkdir-p.c. It can be triggered by other errors too. > This is hard to write a test case for, but I'd like to fix things. > Does the following patch work for you? > > 2005-10-12 Paul Eggert > > * mkdir-p.c (make_dir_parents): Don't fail if an intervening mkdir > fails due to EROFS, or due to EEXIST or other reasons for that matter. > Problem reported by Eric Blake. > (ENOSYS): Remove; no longer needed. This patch also has the nice side effect that mkdir -p c:\dir succeeds again, since it no longer filters on the EACCES being returned by mkdir("c:"). Expect a coreutils-5.90-3 when I get a chance to bundle it together in the next couple of days. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
