dir_create( , recurse = TRUE) produces [EPERM] Failed to stat ... operation not permitted

I am using an AWS cloud machine and drive with Windows 10

proj_set expands U: expands to //AWS etc.

rstudioapi::getActiveProject()
[1] "U:/Projects/CPSprocessR"

usethis::proj_set(rstudioapi::getActiveProject())
Setting active project to '//AWSPUBWFS1191.CBO.GOV/HOME/Nabeel/Projects/CPSprocessR'

setup

project <- usethis::proj_get()

library(fs)

dir_ls()
CPSprocessR.Rproj data DESCRIPTION
inst man NAMESPACE
notes R tests
vignettes

base R works

dir.create(path(project, "tmp1"), recursive = FALSE)
dir.create(path(project, "tmp2"), recursive = TRUE)

fs version doesn't with recurse = TRUE

dir_create(path(project, "tmp3"), recurse = FALSE)
dir_create(path(project, "tmp4"), recurse = TRUE)
Error: [EPERM] Failed to stat '//AWSPUBWFS1191.CBO.GOV/HOME': operation not permitted

tmp4 not created

dir_ls()
CPSprocessR.Rproj data DESCRIPTION
inst man NAMESPACE
notes R tests
tmp1 tmp2 tmp3
vignettes

I am guessing this is causing usethis::create_package and usethis::create_vignette to crash R and RStudio

That means that the operating system is telling fs that it cannot create that directory because of lacking permissions. I don't think we can do much about that in fs.
