- Subject: Running Cygwin from an NFS drive (symlinks with system attribute)
Hello,
I am trying to run Cygwin from an NFS drive. Everything works fine as long as no symbolic link executables are invoked:
$ awk
bash: /usr/bin/awk: Permission denied
The NFS drive does not seem to support the DOS system attribute which makes basic UNIX utilities unavailable.
Is there any way to tell Cygwin to ignore the system attribute?
Any help would be much appreciated.
(Note that the drive is mapped using Windows Services for UNIX 3.5.)
Cheers,
Balazs
