On Wed, 7 Apr 2010 19:27:00 +0200 Corinna Vinschen asked:Can anybody reproduce this problem with trailing dots and spaces in filenames on other filesytems than netapp?
It would be quite helpful to get feedback from people using filesystems which are recognized by Cygwin as nwfs, unixfs, mvfs, or cifs.
For testing, try to create *in Cygwin* a file called "foo." and a file " foo ". If it works, and if a following `ls' and `rm' on the file works as well, everything's fine. If some error occurs, especially "No such file or directory", then that filesystem probably requires special handling just like netapp.
Well it sort of worked.
cd'ed to //fileserver/common/group/sysops
touch foo rm foo touch " foo "
rm " foo "
rm: cannot remove ` foo ': No such file or directory
Slightly wierd it failed initially and then started to behave.
Cheers, Peter
