Subject: pagefile.sys is reported as being a directory
Date: Fri, 03 May 2024 01:40:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5705116.uoxibFcf9D@nimes> (raw)
Hi,
Ken Brown noticed this: pagefile.sys and swapfile.sys are being
reported by Cygwin 3.5.3 as being directories.
Cygwin 3.5.3 on Windows 10:
$ ls -ld /proc/cygdrive/c/pagefile.*
drwxr-x--- 17664 Unknown+User Unknown+Group 0 Jan 1 1601 /proc/cygdrive/c/pagefile.sys
$ ls -ld /proc/cygdrive/c/swapfile.*
drwxr-x--- 17664 Unknown+User Unknown+Group 0 Jan 1 1601 /proc/cygdrive/c/swapfile.sys
In Cygwin 2.9.0 and 3.4.6 (also on Windows 10) it was reported
as a regular file:
$ ls -ld /proc/cygdrive/c/pagefile.*
-rw-r----- 1 Unknown+User Unknown+Group 671088640 May 3 01:25 /proc/cygdrive/c/pagefile.sys
$ ls -ld /proc/cygdrive/c/swapfile.*
-rw-r----- 1 Unknown+User Unknown+Group 268435456 May 3 01:25 /proc/cygdrive/c/swapfile.sys
Gnulib is interested in the modification time of this file.
Do you agree that it's a bug?
Do you have a workaround? In Gnulib we wish to have a way to access this file,
that works on all versions of Cygwin.
Bruno
