Hi,

I am running XP SP2. I have a drive mapped (z:). See mount output. It is
a
NAS drive that supports smb.

sh-3.2$ mount
D:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
D:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
D:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount)
d: on /cygdrive/d type system (binmode,noumount)
f: on /cygdrive/f type system (binmode,noumount)
y: on /cygdrive/y type system (binmode,noumount)
z: on /cygdrive/z type system (binmode,noumount)
 
I can read and write to the /z drive and I can delete individual files
but I
can't delete folders (rm -rf anypath) from the cygwin command line. I
get the followning error.
 
$ rm -rf /s/test/
rm: cannot remove directory `/s/test/': Directory not empty
 
I can delete folders if I use windows explorer, or in a Unix xterm. The
files belong to the user and are not locked. Does anyone have any ideas?
 
Thanks,
Mike
