2nd Try: nwfs problem


I upgraded to the latest cygwin version yesterday and since then I have a
problem I never encountered before. It may have to do with the Netware file
system.

Here is what mount shows: 

C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto) 
C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto) 
C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto) 
C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) 
F: on /cygdrive/f type nwfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) 
G: on /cygdrive/g type nwfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) 
M: on /cygdrive/m type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) 
P: on /cygdrive/p type nwfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) 
Y: on /cygdrive/y type nwfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) 
Z: on /cygdrive/z type nwfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) 

The problem I am having is with the F, G, P, Y, and Z drives which are all
of the nwfs type. C and M which are ntfs are fine. 

ls -l in cydrive shows the following:
total 0 
drwxrwxr-x+ 1 Administrators SYSTEM 0 2010-01-04 11:46 c 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Schwar Domain Users 0 2009-04-22 15:22 f 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Schwar Domain Users 0 2009-04-22 15:22 g 
drwx------+ 1 Administrators ???????? 0 2009-10-12 13:28 m 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Schwar Domain Users 0 2009-04-22 15:22 p 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Schwar Domain Users 0 2009-04-22 15:22 y 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Schwar Domain Users 0 2009-04-22 15:22 z 

As you can see the nwfs mounts do not show up as a directories (d is
missing in the attribute list). If I cd into one of the problem
directories, lets say "cd /cygdrive/f", 

"ls" generates the following error: "ls: cannot open directory .: No such
file or directory"

"ls ." just shows "." 

However "ls -l" works fine and lists the files in the directory. 

The same problem occurs also in all sub-directories of these mounts. I also
found that the behavior changes as I change the LANG setting. For example
setting LANG=en_US causes even "ls -l" to fail in these mounts but setting
to "C.UTF-8" or "en_US.UTF-8" allows "ls -l" to work (but still not "ls").

Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it? 

Thanks, 
Avi
