Also, here's another test case: for x in {a..z}; do PATH=/cygdrive/$x/bin:"$PATH"; ls.exe; done The result will be take a long time to complete if you have a `A:' drive in `My Computer', like the following: bash: /cygdrive/a/bin/ls.exe: Permission denied bash: /cygdrive/a/bin/ls.exe: Permission denied bash: /cygdrive/a/bin/ls.exe: Permission denied bash: /cygdrive/a/bin/ls.exe: Permission denied bash: /cygdrive/a/bin/ls.exe: Permission denied bash: /cygdrive/a/bin/ls.exe: Permission denied bash: /cygdrive/a/bin/ls.exe: Permission denied bash: /cygdrive/a/bin/ls.exe: Permission denied bash: /cygdrive/a/bin/ls.exe: Permission denied bash: /cygdrive/j/bin/ls.exe: Permission denied bash: /cygdrive/k/bin/ls.exe: Permission denied Since I have nothing in drive A:/J:/K:, I think something is wrong with the file system mounting. Can you reproduce it? Oh, forgot to mention, I'm testing the cygwin-1.7. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
