(I posted this message on the GNUSoftware.com discussion list a few days
ago but did not receive any responses so I'm sending it here.)
I am running
GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (i386-msvc-windows98.1998) of 2001-10-22 on buffy
installed from the file
emacs-21.1-fullbin-i386.tar.gz
on a Windows 98 (4.10.1998) machine. I have 3 kinds of drives letters
attached to my machine:
- the local hard disk (C:)
- a directory on a Netware 4.11 server (F:)
- a directory on a Samba share (P:)
If I open a text file (say "sample.txt"), modify it and then save it back
with C-s C-x then I get 3 different behaviours:
- on C:, sample.txt is written and no backup file is created.
- on F:, the modified file is written to sample.txt~; the original
sample.txt is gone and I can't recover it with Netware's Filer/Salvage
program.
- on P:, the original file is renamed to sample.txt~; the modified file is
written to sample.txt.
I can't figure out why the behaviour is different on all 3 kinds of
drives. As I understand it, everything should work as it does on the P:
drive.
Is there anything I can do to investigate this problem further?
TIA,
Andrew.
