I'm using Cygwin 1.5.25, and when I try removing

rm: FATAL: directory `foo' changed dev/ino
Could this be a reoccurrence of this old problem?

Given the different format of the message and the abundance of
alternate but like-named tools on your machine, I have to wonder if
you're getting this message from Cygwin's 'rm'.
If you run strings on Cygwin's /bin/rm, you'll see it uses the exact same
message these days.
Are you?
That notwithstanding, it would be a very good idea to clean out the PATH so
that only one set of unix tools are in play at a time. I stopped counting at
about six or seven differing and potentially incompatible toolsets
simultaneously available...
I think so:
$ which rm
/usr/bin/rm
But how can I be sure?
Invoke '/usr/bin/rm' directly. If you still see a problem, we need
to see the permissions of the directory you're working with ('ls -l'
and 'getfacl') and its contents as well as the input and results you
get. Perhaps stracing might be necessary as well but I'll hold off
asking for that right now. Let's see if the above helps you find the
problem.
What would also be interesting would be to see the getvolinfo output for
the drive(s) in question. Wagner, if you run these two commands:
wget 'http://tinyurl.com/cygwin-getvolinfo' -O getVolInfo.c
gcc getVolInfo.c -lntdll -o getVolInfo
and then "./getVolInfo Z:" - or whichever network drive letter(s) give you the
problem - we'll know more about how you're connected. (Is it a NetApp?)
[ FYI, and as the wget output would show you anyway, the tinyurl leads to
http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/csih/cygwin/getVolInfo.c?cvsroot=cygwin-apps
but I figured that was likely to get wrapped... ]
