- Connect(): No such file or directory
Hi,
there seems to be a change from 1.5 to 1.7 when processing junctions
(reparse points). This was already discussed here but I want to point to
an issue when accessing them via SMB.
Both hosts have a local junction from d:\temp to c:\temp.
SMB connection goes from host1 to host2 (identical account, using
admin shared like c$, d$)
Results on 1.5:
user@host1 ~
$ ls -la //host2/d\$/temp
=> shows the content of c:\temp on host_2_ (as expected)
Results on 1.7:
user@host1 ~
$ ls -l //host2/d\$/temp
lrwxrwxrwx (...) //host2/d$/temp -> /cygdrive/c/temp
=> resolves the local junction of host_2_ but translates it to the
local junction of host_1_, losing the UNC part ("//host2/").
Shouldn't this be parsed to //host2/c\$/temp as with Cygwin 1.5?
Regards,
Mario
