First a sharing violation (not visible in the above snippet), then
directory not empty.
This seems to be the result of an earlier problem. What I found in
the strace is this:
- Create file Z:\pic32mx-bmf\.git\objects\30\tmp_obj_YljwNZ
- open file, write something, close file.
- link (Z:\pic32mx-bmf\.git\objects\30\tmp_obj_YljwNZ,
Z:\pic32mx-bmf\.git\objects\30\0bdeb2fd209d24afb865584da10b78aa8fefc4)
succeeds.
- unlink (Z:\pic32mx-bmf\.git\objects\30\tmp_obj_YljwNZ) succeeds
- Trying to open
Z:\pic32mx-bmf\.git\objects\30\0bdeb2fd209d24afb865584da10b78aa8fefc4
but the file doesn't exist and NtCreateFile fails with status
0xC0000034, STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND --> ENOENT.
- Subsequent unlink (Z:\pic32mx-bmf\.git\objects\30) fails with a
STATUS_DIRECTORY_NOT_EMPTY --> ENOTEMPTY.
- git seems to be prepared for such a case, the parent process calls
opendir/readdir on the directory. Enumerating the files in
Z:\pic32mx-bmf\.git\objects\30 shows the entries ".", ".." and
"0bdeb2fd209d24afb865584da10b78aa8fefc4".
- Then git calls lstat on the file, which results in NtOpenFile
returning status STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND again.
- From a POSIX POV this means "somebody else" deleted the file,
so the dir is empty now. Git tries to delete the directory again,
which again results in STATUS_DIRECTORY_NOT_EMPTY --> ENOTEMPTY
and, internally, a sharing violation which disallows to move the
directory out of the way.
This looks suspiciously like a bug in the remote filesystem. Link
succeeded, so there are two links to the same file in the directory.
Unlinking link 1 succeeds, so there's still one link to the file in the
directory, but link 2 is inaccessible as if the file has been deleted
completely. Thus, a full POSIX git on this drive is broken.
Can you please run
/usr/lib/csih/getVolInfo /cygdrive/z
and paste the output here? Maybe I can workaround this in the next
Cygwin version.
