Re: ls: reading directory /cygdrive/c: No such file or directory

If I might venture a guess. This is not a generic permission problem or
some sort of obvious bug in Cygwin, otherwise it should be reproducible

firewall-, anti-virus-, or Logitech web cam software? See the mailing
list archives for how certain products interact badly with Cygwin.
You where sort of right. Some time ago I installed the
Altiris Software Virtualization
tool. "ls" works in all directories that are not used by Altiris. All
directories that have an SVS layer don't work.
After some research I found this forum entry:
http://forums.altiris.com/messageview.aspx?catid=28&threadid=34551&enterthread=y
which pointed me to
http://juice.altiris.com/node/102
My ProgramIgnoreList entry now looks like this:
[_B_]PROGRAMFILES[_E_]\NAVNT\rtvscan.exe
[_B_]PROGRAMFILES[_E_]\Symantec_Client_Security\Symantec
Antivirus\rtvscan.exe
[_B_]PROGRAMFILES[_E_]\Symantec Antivirus\rtvscan.exe
C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat
C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe
C:\cygwin\bin\rsync.exe
But (similar to the forum entry) it does not work...
Does this information maybe help you to debug the problem so we can make
all cygwin tools work without adding them to the ProgramIgnoreList?
Best regards,
Mike
