RE: [1.7] windows 7 with networked drives - ls failure and mount -c does not stick...


My mistake.  I read through the documents - thanks!

So, without any entries in /etc/fstab and with no modifications done via
mount is 'ls' supposed to work on a networked drive?  I am finding that it
gives an error.  What am I doing wrong?  Both B: and N: are networked
drives.  I can change directories but not list their contents.  Output of
cygcheck, mount, and contents of /etc/fstab included.  See attached file and
below:

paul.j.ghosh@VGNZ790DKX ~
$ mount
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)
B: on /cygdrive/b type smbfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
N: on /cygdrive/n type smbfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)

paul.j.ghosh@VGNZ790DKX ~
$ cd /cygdrive/b

paul.j.ghosh@VGNZ790DKX /cygdrive/b
$ ls
ls: reading directory .: Function not implemented

paul.j.ghosh@VGNZ790DKX /cygdrive/b
$ cat /etc/fstab
# For a description of the file format, see the Users Guide

# This is default anyway:
# none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0

paul.j.ghosh@VGNZ790DKX /cygdrive/b
$ cd home

paul.j.ghosh@VGNZ790DKX /cygdrive/b/home
$ pwd
/cygdrive/b/home

paul.j.ghosh@VGNZ790DKX /cygdrive/b/home
$ cd ..

paul.j.ghosh@VGNZ790DKX /cygdrive/b
$ cygcheck  -s -v -r > /cygcheck.out

That's not helpful.  I'm using ls all the time on network drives and
it's not failing for me.  Please see http://cygwin.com/problems.html
Detailed bug reports are the bread of bug fixing.

>?Also, mount -c '/' does not seem to stick.

As documented.  There are a *lot* of changes from 1.5 to 1.7.  That's
why reading the User's Guide is such a good idea...
http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table
http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#mount

However, I encourage you to read all of it:
