- Subject: Problem with ls and EACCESS
I have been trying out the ext2 read/write IFS driver
for WinXP, and it seems to work nicely. However, I
have noticed this one issue.
In /, I have a couple of symbolic links to kernels. When
I look at them in a windows command prompt, I see the link as a
file:
08/12/2004 05:45 AM 20 vmlinuz.knoppix
and if I try to look inside,
L:\>type vmlinuz.knoppix
Access is denied.
So far, all is good.
However, when I try to look at the directory under cygwin:
$ ls /cygdrive/l/vmlinuz.knoppix
ls: /cygdrive/l/vmlinuz.knoppix: No such file or directory
I have pulled an strace of this, and it looks like someone
is skipping the error EACCESS or ignoring it, and somehow
is transmuting the EACCESS into ENOENT.
