Greetings, cyg...@cygwin.com. I have cygwin storage directory on network share, and it was not an issue for a years. Today, when I attempted an update, it warned me that next major release is pushed and I probably want to review changes. I did that, haven't spotted anything potentially destructive, and ... tried to... proceed with upgrade. It ended rather quickly, when setup.exe was started creating directories it was unable to write to. Default permissions on disk, where network share located) is set to SYSTEM = full Administrators = full Everyone = R&X Owner = Administrators All permissions is inherited from the drive root. When I attempt to write files/create directories at that location by normal means (Explorer, notepad etc.), it all works without an issue. But cygwin setup... It trying to add local user SID to remote file permissions... and add OWNER-related rights to it. How it is supposed to work, anyway? I don't have Windows domain at home... There's an example screenshot, drive perms at left, one of cygwin dirs at right. http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/4735/cygwininsaneperms.gif Worst case is that i'm a member of Administrators group, and I'm unable to deny it (in fact - myself) messing with permissions...
