I agree, and I have already stated that this is very likely a cygwin problem, and not a findutils problem. The cygwin mailing list documents known issues with remote Samba drives in cygwin 1.5.19-4 (the latest stable release of cygwin) that have since been fixed in CVS snapshots of cygwin. I urge the OP to report this to the cygwin list, and quit sending private mail or wasting time with the bug-findutils list when the cygwin list is a much better place to resolve this issue. > > Incidentally, when I run find 4.1.7 on another machine with an older > installation, it works correctly with the Samba drive.

Report failures with cygwin to the cygwin list, otherwise the problem will not get fixed. I repeat, it is not findutil's bug, but cygwin's handling of remote Samba drives that is the issue here. -- Eric Blake _______________________________________________ Bug-findutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-findutils
