That's amazing news. But an old bug crept in: H is NFS file system $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-10.0-19045 bastille0x44ef 3.5.0-0.423.g7ced682549ae.x86_64 2023-09-07 17:19 UTC x86_64 Cygwin $ mount C:/cygwin64/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin64/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin64 on / type ntfs (binary,auto) C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) H: on /cygdrive/h type nfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) M: on /cygdrive/m type nfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) N: on /cygdrive/n type nfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) O: on /cygdrive/o type nfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) P: on /cygdrive/p type nfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) $ cd /cygdrive/h/tmp/ $ mkfifo f1.fifo ; echo $? 0 $ mkfifo -m 0600 f2.fifo ; echo $? mkfifo: cannot set permissions of 'f2.fifo': No such file or directory 1 So chmod() for a FIFO inode on NFS fails. Tested with MSFT NFSv3 and new builds of the NFSv4.1 ms-nfs41-client filesystems.
