RE: PLEASE TEST YOUR FS (was Re: 1.7.1: cvs version built in is unstable)

["Garber, Dave (GE Infra, Energy, Non-GE)" <dave dot garber at ge dot com>]

I've tested on 2 Netapp shares, 1 that uses UNIX permissions and the
other uses NTFS permissions.  Both failed for both cases.

Btw.

Can anybody reproduce this problem with trailing dots and spaces in
filenames on other filesytems than netapp?

It would be quite helpful to get feedback from people using filesystems
which are recognized by Cygwin as nwfs, unixfs, mvfs, or cifs.

For testing, try to create *in Cygwin* a file called "foo." and a file "
foo ".  If it works, and if a following `ls' and `rm' on the file works
as well, everything's fine.  If some error occurs, especially "No such
file or directory", then that filesystem probably requires special
handling just like netapp.


Thanks,
Corinna
