According to Ilya Beylin on 3/3/2010 12:42 AM: > $ ls -l '\\HERA\shared\benchmarks\test' > ls: cannot access \\hera\shared\benchmarks\test: Not a directory Use POSIX-style paths, to see the difference. $ ls -l //HERA/shared/benchmarks/test > > I do not quite understand what is going on; doesn't Cygwin uses Windows standard calls to access the network drives? Yes, but only after translating POSIX-style names into windows style names under the hood. Providing windows-style names up front tells cygwin to take different code paths, and in particular, turns off some ACL work, and you are on your own if a name with a backslash doesn't do what you wanted. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
