Hi all, I have a strange behavior of cygwin here. I have two machines with the nearly (*)he same configuration on machine A everything works good, on B I get the error
1 [main] sh 1884 sig_send: error sending signal -40 to pid 1884, pipe handle 0x768, Win32 error 6 sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable depending on which drive I start a perl program which uses a pipe via IO::File->new("dosomething.pl |"); (*) On A Cygwin is installed in C:\Programme\cygwin and uses Cygwin DLL version info: DLL version: 1.7.9 DLL epoch: 19 DLL old termios: 5 DLL malloc env: 28 Cygwin conv: 181 API major: 0 API minor: 237 Shared data: 5 DLL identifier: cygwin1 Mount registry: 3 Cygwin registry name: Cygwin Program options name: Program Options Installations name: Installations Cygdrive default prefix: Build date: Shared id: cygwin1S5 on B in C:\cygwin and uses the most resent version Cygwin DLL version info: DLL version: 1.7.15 DLL epoch: 19 DLL old termios: 5 DLL malloc env: 28 Cygwin conv: 181 API major: 0 API minor: 260 Shared data: 5 DLL identifier: cygwin1 Mount registry: 3 Cygwin registry name: Cygwin Program options name: Program Options Installations name: Installations Cygdrive default prefix: Build date: Shared id: cygwin1S5 On drive C: everything works fine but on the other drives e.g. H Mount yields: Machine A C:/Programme/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/Programme/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/Programme/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto) F: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (text,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) H: on /cygdrive/h type nwfs (text,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) Machine B C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto) C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (text,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) F: on /cygdrive/f type nwfs (text,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) H: on /cygdrive/h type nwfs (text,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) Two other issues are also strange : First if I try to update machine A I get the warning that this is the first time that I setup version 1.7 (setup 2.774) Second the /etc/fstab file seems to have no effect on the mountings on machine B Even if I delete this file I get the same settings Is there anybody out there who knows what is going wrong ??
