Just for the record - it DOES complain when appropriate (e.g. when copying a file from e2fs to vfat/fat (and maybe ntfs too, but I have no ntfs mounts in my Linux system). > > It actually doesn't work very well on non-NTFS filesystems.

That's odd though - regular DOS calls (both the standard and LFN APIs) that set a files timestamp work just fine on read-only files (looking in the source for utime on DJGPP, there is no code to chmod +w/-w). Strange that the Windows APIs work differently. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
