On Win9X, ls reports incorrect date and size (aliasing with those from a file) for Windows filesystem root dirs. ~: ls -ld /c /c/MSDOS.SYS drwxr-xr-x 12 pierre unknown 1660 Jul 18 2001 /c/ -r--r--r-- 1 pierre unknown 1660 Jul 18 2001 /c/MSDOS.SYS Also UNC pathnames of root directories cannot be stat. ~: ls -ld //hpn5170x/c //hpn5170x/c/msdos.sys ls: //hpn5170x/c: No such file or directory -r--r--r-- 1 pierre unknown 1660 Jul 18 2001 //hpn5170x/c/msdos.sys Both problems stem from incorrect use of FindFirstFile (FindFirstFile(c:\*) does not return a handle to c:\ ) Also df is known to be broken for disks > 2 GB. A patch has been submitted long ago, but was never completed: <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2001-q1/msg00183.html> I have been in touch with the author, without looking at his patch. He told me that he never got someone to sign the release. I thus wrote a new patch from scratch. 2003-05-23 Pierre Humblet <pierre.humblet@ieee.org> * autoload.cc (GetDiskFreeSpaceEx): Add. * syscalls.cc (statfs): Call full_path.root_dir() instead of rootdir(full_path). Use GetDiskFreeSpaceEx when available and report space available in addition to free space. * fhandler_disk_file.cc (fhandler_disk_file::fstat_by_name): Do not call FindFirstFile for disk root directories.
