Re: Writing to Windows Share issues fixed in cygwin1-20110829.dll.bz2

[Keith Christian <keith1christian at gmail dot com>]

I was wrong.

Only some improvement using the cygwin1-20110829.dll.bz2 snapshot.
Problems still exist when trying to check in a file with RCS on this
Windows share.

Annotated test example below.  Apologies for not being brief.

Any ideas appreciated.  However, progress has been made with the 0829
snapshot, at least I can create files on this share......



# 1 - Comments: Verify the version of cygwin1.dll:

    Fri Sep 16 10:24:20 (kchristian@laptop-pc) /cygdrive/z>uname -a
    CYGWIN_NT-5.1 laptop-pc 1.7.10s(0.251/5/3) 20110829 15:53:50 i686 Cygwin




# 2 - Comments: Create a directory tree on the file share:

    Fri Sep 16 10:24:29 (kchristian@laptop-pc) /cygdrive/z>mkdir -p foo/bar/baz




# 3 - Comments: Change to the "leaf" directory:

    Fri Sep 16 10:25:33 (kchristian@laptop-pc) /cygdrive/z>cd foo/bar/baz




# 4 - Comments: Create a test file:

    Fri Sep 16 10:25:52 (kchristian@laptop-pc)
/cygdrive/z/foo/bar/baz>pwd > testfile.1




# 5 - Comments: Cat the file to verify its contents:

    Fri Sep 16 10:26:05 (kchristian@laptop-pc)
/cygdrive/z/foo/bar/baz>cat testfile.1
    /cygdrive/z/foo/bar/baz
