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.

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

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:/
ls: cannot access b:/..: No such file or directory total 0
drwxr-xr-x 1 user1 None 0 Dec  5  2012 .
d????????? ? ?             ?    ?            ? ..
drwxr-xr-x 1 user1 None 0 Dec  5  2012 admin drwxr-xr-x 1 user1 None 0 Nov 18 17:50 global
drwxr-xr-x 1 user1 None 0 Dec  5  2012 man drwxr-xr-x 1 user1 None 0 Dec  5  2012 WTI

ls -al /cygdrive/b
total 0
drwxrwxrwx 1 ????????      ???????? 0 Dec  5  2012 .
dr-xr-xr-x 1 user1 None     0 Nov 18 18:06 ..
drwxr-x--- 1 ????????      ???????? 0 Dec  5  2012 admin
drwxrwxrwx 1 ????????      ???????? 0 Nov 18 17:50 global
drwxr-x--- 1 ????????      ???????? 0 Dec  5  2012 man
drwxr-x--- 1 ????????      ???????? 0 Dec  5  2012 WTI

What is really strange is that the access via b:/ yields different access r= ights than /cygdrive/b

I would be really helpful to find a way to use this drive as /cygdrive/b/  = with the same access rights as for b:/

Also any other idea how to use this windows shares are highly appreciated !

'Thanks
Norbert

The mount worked fine, as you can see from below.

As expected, since you haven't provided the authentication necessary yet.

          ^^^
This is not POSIX path syntax.  Any unexpected behavior from using this path
syntax isn't considered a bug.

And now you see the expected results.

Explained above.

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.
