Description
I have a Windows XP host system, with an Ubuntu 10.04 guest OS. I can successfully create and mount a shared folder.
If I try to use wildcards that don't match any files in the folder I get a Protocol Error.
For instance, if the folder has no files that start with the letter 'd', and I try
ls -l d*
I will get
ls: cannot access d*: Protocol error
Not using the wildcard works fine. Using the wildcard with matching files also works fine.
This seems innocuous, but unfortunately it kills the usage of a number of Makefiles in projects with which I'm involved.
