I have a file: /c/Config.Msi/3da9e136.rbf that I cannot copy, even when
I run bash as an administrator -- seemingly due to perm/acl errors.
Specifically:
# mv 3da9e136.rbf newfile: works
# cp 3da9e136.rbf newfile: works
But,
# cp -a 3da9e136.rbf newfile
cp: preserving permissions for ‘newfile’: Permission denied
(though the file is created)
If I then do
# getfacl 3da9e136.rbf | setfacl -f - newfile
setfacl: more than one user entry.
And:
# getfacl 3da9e136.rbf
# file: 3da9e136.rbf
# owner: Administrators
# group: SYSTEM
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::r-x
user::rwx
group::rwx
group:SYSTEM:rwx
mask::rwx
other::r-x
While:
# getfacl newfile
# file: newfile
# owner: Administrators
# group: SYSTEM
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::r-x
So the problem seems to be that the 'user' (and presumably also the
'group' and 'other') ACLs are duplicated.
Note that 'subinacl' shows:
=================================
+File C:\Config.Msi\3da9e136.rbf
=================================
/control=0x0
/owner =builtin\administrators
/primary group =system
/audit ace count =0

/pace =everyone Type=0x0 Flags=0x3 AccessMask=0x1200a9
/pace =builtin\administrators Type=0x0 Flags=0x3 AccessMask=0x1f01ff
-----------------------------------------
Not sure if this is an NTFS bug (or feature???) or a problem with
Cygwin file manipulation tools.
Either way:
- Is this a bug? (or a feature????)
- Any idea how or why this happened?
- Any idea how (or whether) to fix this so that I don't have duplicate
ACLs?
Ideally, I would like to "fix" the problem with Cygwin tools...
