FileUtils.rm_rf bug on win2k?

ruby-talk
1

I am seeing some odd behavior with FileUtils.rm_rf on Windows 2000. I
have an an external drive mounted to C:\work on an NTFS partition.
When I execute rm_rf on C:\work\somedir, somedir is deleted as
expected, but the drive is also unmounted.

I am running Ruby 1.8.1.

Is this a known issue? If not, what is the appropriate forum for
making a bug report?

Sorry for very late reply...

  In mail "FileUtils.rm_rf bug on win2k?"

I am seeing some odd behavior with FileUtils.rm_rf on Windows 2000. I
have an an external drive mounted to C:\work on an NTFS partition.
When I execute rm_rf on C:\work\somedir, somedir is deleted as
expected, but the drive is also unmounted.

I am running Ruby 1.8.1.

I cannot reproduce the bug.
Here is a command line log:

  C:\>mkdir mnt

  C:\>mountvol mnt \\?\Volume{.....} <----- mount A: on C:\mnt

  C:\>mkdir mnt\tmp

  C:\>mkdir mnt\mountmark

  C:\>C:\ruby-vc6\bin\ruby -r fileutils -e 'FileUtils.rm_rf "mnt/tmp"'

  C:\>ls mnt
  mountmark <---- The volume is still mounted

  C:\>

(ls, mkdir is SFU's)

My environment is:

  * Ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-22) [i386-mswin32]
  * Visual C++ 6.0
  * Windows 2000 Professional
  * C: is NTFS

John, could you show me your code snipet, especially around rm_rf?
