From: mh AT mike DOT franken DOT de (Michael Hirmke) Subject: Find problem solved or workaround 14 Jan 1999 04:37:16 -0800 Message-ID: <78mSJX2ppfB.cygnus.gnu-win32@mike.franken.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Hi, I could solve the problem with find, I reported here recently. At least I found a work around for me. Perhaps you can take it as a bug report, too ?!? It was a problem with my mount table. I had a mount table like this: C: / native text=binary c:\Entw\Perl /Programme/Perl native text=binary c:\usr\cygwin-b20\H-i586-cygwin32\bin /bin native text=binary d: /d native text=binary \\.\tape0 /dev/nst0 native text=binary \\.\tape0 /dev/st0 native text=binary e: /e native text=binary c:\usr\local\etc /etc native text=binary z: /home native text=binary d:\var /var native text=binary As you can see, besides the necessary mount for c: -> / there are two other mounts for directories on the same drive - c:\Entw\Perl and c:\usr\cygwin-b20\H-i586-cygwin32\bin ! I replaced them with symbolic links and everything started to work as expected. So I suppose, Cygwin gets confused, when it has to handle more than one mount for the the same partition or the partition's directories. Any comments on this ? Bye.
