It may have to do with the Netware file system. Here is what mount shows: C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto) C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) F: on /cygdrive/f type nwfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) G: on /cygdrive/g type nwfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) M: on /cygdrive/m type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) P: on /cygdrive/p type nwfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) Y: on /cygdrive/y type nwfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) Z: on /cygdrive/z type nwfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) The problem I am having is with the F, G, P, Y, and Z drives which are all of the nwfs type. C and M which are ntfs are fine. ls -l in cydrive shows the following: total 0 drwxrwxr-x+ 1 Administrators SYSTEM 0 2010-01-04 11:46 c -rwxr-xr-x 1 Schwar Domain Users 0 2009-04-22 15:22 f -rwxr-xr-x 1 Schwar Domain Users 0 2009-04-22 15:22 g drwx------+ 1 Administrators ???????? 0 2009-10-12 13:28 m -rwxr-xr-x 1 Schwar Domain Users 0 2009-04-22 15:22 p -rwxr-xr-x 1 Schwar Domain Users 0 2009-04-22 15:22 y -rwxr-xr-x 1 Schwar Domain Users 0 2009-04-22 15:22 z As you can see the nwfs mounts do not show up as a directories (d is missing in the attribute list). If I cd into one of the problem directories, lets say "cd /cygdrive/f", "ls" generates the following error: "ls: cannot open directory .: No such file or directory" "ls ." just shows "." However "ls -l" works fine and lists the files in the directory. The same problem occurs also in all sub-directories of these mounts. I also found that the behavior changes as I change the LANG setting. For example setting LANG=en_US causes even "ls -l" to fail in these mounts but setting to "C.UTF-8" or "en_US.UTF-8" allows "ls -l" to work (but still not "ls"). Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it?
