Subject: Home directory on network drive not accessible in 3.3.4
Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2022 13:59:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8389e966-9712-7011-8012-c0a07d2edc0e@towo.net> (raw)

I upgraded 3.3.3 → 3.3.4 in a lab environment, where my home directory 
is H:\ or /cygdrive/h

Starting cygwin (cmd/bash or mintty) with some tools from gnuutils (like 
ls) in the path gives me this message:

mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/cygdrive/h’: File exists
/cygdrive/h could not be created.
Setting HOME to /tmp.

After clearing PATH, then running bash or mintty:
bash: /cygdrive/h/.bashrc: Too many levels of symbolic links

$ cd /cygdrive/h
-bash: cd: /cygdrive/h: Too many levels of symbolic links

$ /bin/ls -l /cygdrive
/bin/ls: /cygdrive/h: Too many levels of symbolic links
/bin/ls: /cygdrive/l: Too many levels of symbolic links

L: on /cygdrive/l type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)

Reverting to cygwin 3.3.3 solves the issue. Maybe related to the other 
3.3.4 problem reported today?
Kind regards,
Thomas
