POSIX allows the refusal to delete an in-use directory; and Solaris NFS mounts behave this way. But since Linux can delete in-use directories (where an in-use directory includes the condition of at least one process owning that directory as its cwd), and cygwin emulates Linux rather than POSIX, we can try harder if it makes sense. --=20 Eric Blake eblake AT redhat DOT com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --------------enigB3ADB6E8D7C182323DD86D01 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJMbDsWAAoJEKeha0olJ0NqRB0H/35JGIlhB5br9u/NOOuq4jXU c3x8VgK+hl4Bkhmr5tKW0oziTJJ+b5iX5/NLsYe5L3eZnZKcXfORIyGKDl65Y2vL 7gvViL+eF7MoJOQ9ouI1k8vivPlfJCMWKkHFHfpsmQlMiaCHEw4fscVXUwmL+lXJ A7JpLC4CmcPbDvxwO9eEm8iSk685qDnC66dmQ1Zk0yJ0BEPLH0RQzjh9vQJtskOM P46fOtAdQ2mT+kVeHlo8T9IYFDY1pDXgQ/VZRxcr5ZOhHP0Zk7OoEgpHsqtsrIhx fiF3bsiNNkf7gCGkivE6C1w5uSNh8gfZcoWW01PUY7wl4aqex/dpj3yfDf8uAfs= =+PAd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigB3ADB6E8D7C182323DD86D01--
