I notice that setfacl does not change the ACLs of a file when given a pathname
starting with a drive letter (e.g., c:/temp/zzz), but it will work when given a
UNIX-style pathname (e.g., /cygdrive/c/temp/zzz). Example below. Is this a
known problem?

But it used to work. I noticed this after updating to the latest release.
If the drive-letter form of the pathname is not acceptable to the tool, it
should complain, but (like most Cygwin utilities) it probably doesn't care
about
the syntax of the pathname, as long as open(2) accepts it.

Indeed. Cygwin has allowed pathnames to start with drive

Yes, this is on purpose. Use of a drive letter says that you DON'T want
POSIX path processing, therefore, you are also giving up ACL processing.
Moral of the story - don't expect drive letters to do what you want.
Use POSIX paths.
Thanks, Eric. I
