I experienced a problem with Cygwin 1.5.10-3 on two different machines on the same local area network (Cygwin 1.5.9-1 works OK). CVS fails (cvs status or cvs update) complaining that it is unable to create a read lock. The CVS repository is on a remote file system (CIFS). I reported this already (for reference it is here http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-06/msg00014.html).
Digging deeper, I have found the root of the problem - fopen fails, errno is set to ENOENT (in CVS's lock.c). Fopen works on the local file system, but fails on a remote file system under 1.5.10-3. If I revert back to 1.5.9-1, Fopen is again happy for both local and remote file systems. I am able to successfully use touch and mkdir on the remote file system, so permissions seem ok. I found a very similar problem description at http://sources.redhat.com/ml/crossgcc/2003-11/msg00008.html, but this appears to be on a local file system. However, I did not see any resolution for that specific problem. Any suggestions are welcome.
