The lsu.trace file is attached...
I have no control over or information about the shared folder mapped to
the U: drive in Windows. So instead, I tried using a shared folder which
a colleague controls to the Z: drive and do a test on that. I had no
problem listing the contents of Z: (both in DOS with dir and in Cygwin
with ls).
Returning to the U drive, I decided to try mounting the shared folder
manually to /mnt/u. In messing around, I actually mounted the parent
directory with:
mount \\\\UK.AGEE.COM\\Homedirs\\ACHE /mnt/u
I have no problem doing ls /mnt/u -- which returns:
NGGMV1R lost+found
The NGGMV1R is my folder on the shared drive, and lost+found suggests
it's on a *nix machine which must run samba.
I don't know if this information is relevant, but in the properties of
the U: drive (in Windows Explorer) there's a tab called "Previous
versions" which shows backups of the shared folder over the past week. I
don't know if this is relevant, but thought I'd mention it in case it
is.
