Re: cygwin and NTFS
Oh, I see. Did you try jiggering the fizzle? How about
reconstructing the scrontz manually? Hm, if that doesn't
do it, you're hosed. You'll need a new computer to fix
this.
OR
You could visit <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> and follow
the instructions there so folks here have some idea what your
configuration is. At least it would provide us with some basic
information on which to base further questions.

Does anybody know of any issues that cygwin 1.3.22 has with NTFS?
Here's what happened.
So far, I have been using cygwin 1.3.10 on NTFS with no problems.
Recently, I upgraded cygwin to 1.3.22 and all of a sudden I am
starting to get permission errors with NTFS. I then reloaded by system
and configured as FAT32 instead of NTFS. Now everything works fine. No
permission problems at all. So I reloaded with NTFS now. Now again, I
am getting the permissions problems.
I can't remember exactly what version the behaviour changed but, Cygwin
went to
ntsec off by default (your NTFS bliss) to ntsec on by default. So,
adding
'nontsec' to your CYGWIN environment variable should fix that for you.
