Cygwin 1.7: Problem with Windows 2008 mount point folders

[Dieter Meyer]

Hi,

using Cygwin on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 I can't create directories
within (or below) mount point folders. Obviously Cygwin fails to stat
mount point folders in general.

For example I have a partition mounted at C:\Data:

DISKPART> list volume
  Volume ###  Ltr  Label        Fs     Type        Size     Status     Info
  ----------  ---  -----------  -----  ----------  -------  --------- 
--------
  Volume 2    Data  NTFS   Partition        8189 MB  Healthy    C:\Data\
DISKPART>

bash-3.2$ mkdir /cygdrive/C/Data/test
mkdir: cannot create directory `/cygdrive/C/Data/test': No such file or
directory
bash-3.2$ cd /cygdrive/C/Data
bash: cd: /cygdrive/C/Data: No such file or directory
bash-3.2$ ls -la /cygdrive/C/Data
lrwxrwxrwx 1 4294967295 mkpasswd 54 Aug 19 11:24 /cygdrive/C/Data ->
/cygdrive/c/ume{b878e35d-8c9f-11de-b1bc-000c29768552}/
bash-3.2$ cd /cygdrive/C/Data/product
bash-3.2$ ls -al
ls: cannot access ..: No such file or directory
total 4
drwx------+ 1 4294967295 mkpasswd    0 Aug 20 09:17 .
d?????????? ? ?          ?           ?            ? ..
drwx------+ 1 4294967295 mkpasswd 4096 Aug 20 13:24 base
bash-3.2$

Is this a known problem or restriction? Any idea how to bypass the problem?

Regards
Dieter
