Cool, thanks. > ATA/SCSI autodetection is also still missing, therefore it is required > to use /dev/hdX for ATA, and /dev/sdX for SCSI (or ATA behind SATL) disks. > This is also not consistent with Cygwin's device names, but more > difficult to fix. I have another strange behaviour which I'm wondering how to solve. I'm runing XP on a mainboard with ATI SB600 SATA controller in "native IDE" mode(*). When I run smartctl onthe only drive in the machine, I get the following reply: $ /usr/sbin/smartctl.exe -i /dev/sda smartctl version 5.37 [i686-cygwin-xp-sp2] Copyright (C) 2002-6 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Device: ATI 1+0 JBOD Version: 1.10 Device type: disk Local Time is: Sun Jun 17 18:07:28 2007 WEST Device does not support SMART Any idea why I don't get actual drive information but the name of the controller instead?

Yes: #include <sys/cygwin.h> int fd = open(...); HANDLE h = (HANDLE) get_osfhandle (fd); Corinna (*) I tried to change this post-install to AHCI, including driver install, but Windows won't boot anymore with this setting. If somebody has an idea how to do that, feel free to follow-up on the cygwin-talk list.
