- Subject: 1.7: Problem with Novell volumes
Hello,
I recently upgraded to Cygwin 1.7. Since the upgrade, I started having issues with accessing Novell volumes. These issues are possibly similar to those seen by Avi Shwartz in his other threads. I'm too dumb to figure out how I can reply to those other threads so my apologies for creating another one. But I figured having another person with the same issue might be useful for getting to the bottom of the problem.
All of the Novell volumes are having the same issues, but I'll use the H: drive to show the problem. I can perform an "ls" with no problems, but "ls -l" and "cd" fail as shown below:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
34027@TCOM-NFO-16 ~
$ ls /cygdrive/h
Citrix_docs Favorites My Wallpapers Workspace workbench
Default.rdp My Documents Notes notes.ini
34027@TCOM-NFO-16 ~
$ ls -l /cygdrive/h
ls: cannot access /cygdrive/h: Input/Output error
34027@TCOM-NFO-16 ~
$ cd /cygdrive/h
-bash: cd: /cygdrive/h: Not a directory
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a comparison of a local NTFS volume versus the Novell drive mentioned above:

Output from "mount" if it is helpful:

I did not include a trace here but I can do so if it is helpful.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,
