Hi,
I have the two files "myfile1.txt" and "myfile2.txt" on
drive C of the server "myserver". I am using bash and
want to edit one of the files via the C$ share.
First I type
$ vi //myserver/c$/myf<TAB>
This gets expanded to
$ vi //myserver/c\$/myfile
After I add the "1" for file one like this
$ vi //myserver/c\$/myfile1<TAB>
I receive the following warning:
cygwin warning:
MS-DOS style path detected: //myserver/c\$/
Preferred POSIX equivalent is: //myserver/c/$/
CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning.
Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames
So cygwin thinks that I am using a non-POSIX path. The
suggested path //myserver/c/$/ is definitely wrong.
I am using the following versions:
$ cygcheck -c cygwin bash bash-completion
Cygwin Package Information
Package Version Status
bash 4.1.10-4 OK
bash-completion 1.3-1 OK
cygwin 1.7.9-1 OK
Many thanks,
Rene
