Local drives seem okay. Once a file is created with a native program I can write to it. This is with cygwin 1.7.9-1. The problem went away when I reverted to 1.7.7-1 and came back when I reinstalled 1.7.9-1. The release notes for 1.7.9 include "Slightly speed up file access when creating new files". $ touch foo.txt touch: cannot touch `foo.txt': Permission denied # created foo.txt with native emacs $ echo hello > foo.txt $ echo hello > bar.txt bash: bar.txt: Permission denied -- Pete Forman -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
