Subject: unlink(nonexistent): EROFS or ENOENT?
Date: Sun, 29 May 2011 20:08:55 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DE26F97.9050607@msgid.tls.msk.ru> (raw)
Hello.
Just noticed that at least on ext4, unlinking a
non-existing file from a read-only filesystem
results in EROFS instead of ENOENT. I'd expect
it return ENOENT - it is more logical, at least
in my opinion.
For one, (readonly) NFS mount returns ENOENT in
this case.
Thanks!
