Subject: noacl functionality for MS-DOS destination paths?
Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2008 04:53:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <494B28B9.1070902@i12.com> (raw)
Is there any way to get noacl functionality when using MS-DOS
destination paths?
My etc/fstab file (below) applies noacl for UNIX destination paths e.g.
C:\cygwin\bin\mkdir.exe /c/foo
creates directory C:\foo with NTFS default permissions inherited from
parent directory C:\ (the same as DOS mkdir C:\foo would do).
But an MS-DOS destination path, e.g.
C:\cygwin\bin\mkdir.exe C:\foo
causes Cygwin to ignore noacl in etc/fstab and create C:\foo with
POSIX-like permissions (non-NTFS default and not inherited from parent
directory C:\).
According to http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net.html#mount-table
"Otherwise, the handling of MS-DOS filenames bypasses the mount table"
But if Cygwin 1.7 bypasses etc/fstab for MS-DOS filenames and no longer
supports the nontsec option, I'm stuck.
When using MS-DOS destination paths in Cygwin 1.7, is there any way to
get noacl functionality - i.e. where Cygwin creates objects with NTFS
default permissions inherited from their parent directory rather than
POSIX-like permissions?
If not, are there any plans to add such functionality to Cygwin 1.7?
Destination paths can be converted from MS_DOS to Unix (e.g. with
cygpath) in order to prevent Cygwin from bypassing etc/fstab and hence
noacl, but is there a solution which doesn't require path conversion?
Greetings,
Lawrence
