Hi all,
Situation : A windows shared NAS to which I can connect using
net use \\\\192.168.109.252\\storage /user:PC06\\user1 passwd
but then it is not possible to mount it to lets say /cygdrive/b
mount \\\\192.168.109.252\\storage /cygdrive/b
mount: warning - /cygdrive/s does not exist.
mount: defaulting to 'notexec' mount option for speed since native path
references a remote share. Use '-f' option to override.
The mount worked fine, as you can see from below.
But
$ mount
//192.168.109.252/storage on /cygdrive/b type smbfs (binary,notexec,noacl,u=
ser)
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 ntfs (binary,posix=3D0,user,noumount,auto)
C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=3D0,user,noumount,auto)
D: on /cygdrive/d type ntfs (binary,posix=3D0,user,noumount,auto)
E: on /cygdrive/e type vfat (binary,posix=3D0,user,noumount,auto)
F: on /cygdrive/f type ntfs (binary,posix=3D0,user,noumount,auto)
H: on /cygdrive/h type nwfs (binary,posix=3D0,user,noumount,auto)
And:
$ ls -al /cygdrive/b/
ls: cannot access /cygdrive/b/: No such file or directory
As expected, since you haven't provided the authentication necessary yet.
If I use
net use b: \\\\192.168.109.252\\storage /user:PC06\\user1 passwd The command completed successfully.
The result is slightly different:
$ mount
//192.168.109.252/storage on /cygdrive/b type smbfs (binary,notexec,noacl,u=
ser)
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 ntfs (binary,posix=3D0,user,noumount,auto)
C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=3D0,user,noumount,auto)
D: on /cygdrive/d type ntfs (binary,posix=3D0,user,noumount,auto)
E: on /cygdrive/e type vfat (binary,posix=3D0,user,noumount,auto)
F: on /cygdrive/f type ntfs (binary,posix=3D0,user,noumount,auto)
H: on /cygdrive/h type nwfs (binary,posix=3D0,user,noumount,auto)
S: on /cygdrive/s type smbfs (binary,posix=3D0,user,noumount,auto)
ls -al b:/
^^^
This is not POSIX path syntax. Any unexpected behavior from using this path
syntax isn't considered a bug.
ls: cannot access b:/..: No such file or directory total 0
drwxr-xr-x 1 user1 None 0 Dec 5 2012 .

ls -al /cygdrive/b

And now you see the expected results.
What is really strange is that the access via b:/ yields different
access rights than /cygdrive/b
Explained above.
I would be really helpful to find a way to use this drive as
/cygdrive/b/ with the same access rights as for b:/
Supporting DOS-style paths is not a goal of the Cygwin project. Where they
work as expected, we happily let them be used. Where they do not, we
recommend using the supported POSIX paths.
