Hi and sorry for the clutter, but I can't figure it out! I have this familiar situation when trying to copy from the network:
cp //walnetapp01/SRD/LegacyBugs/148000-148999/148708/some_file.txt ./ cp: skipping file `//walnetapp01/SRD/LegacyBugs/148000-148999/148708/some_file.txt', as it was replaced while being copied Now, I looked through the mailing list archives and found two relevant threads on this subject, namely: ml/cygwin/2006-01/msg00804.html ml/cygwin/2006-11/msg00525.html The thing is that neither of them ends up with a prescription of how to fix the problem :-) In message 2006-11/msg00604.html, Corinna says: I'm going to add a special case for this file system. Please give the next developer's snapshot from http://www.cygwin.com/snapshots/ a try. Well, here I am in April 2008, with a fresh new Cygwin installation - I am assuming that by now this prblem whould have been resolved in the main branch. Am I wrong? Do I have to do anything special? Here is the output of the proverbial "./getvolinfo.exe //walnetapp01/SRD": rootdir: \\walnetapp01\SRD\ Volume Name : <SRD> Serial Number : 771869145 Max Filenamelength : 255 Filesystemname : <NTFS> Flags: FILE_CASE_SENSITIVE_SEARCH : TRUE FILE_CASE_PRESERVED_NAMES : TRUE FILE_UNICODE_ON_DISK : TRUE FILE_PERSISTENT_ACLS : TRUE FILE_FILE_COMPRESSION : FALSE FILE_VOLUME_QUOTAS : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_SPARSE_FILES : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_REPARSE_POINTS: FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_REMOTE_STORAGE: FALSE FILE_VOLUME_IS_COMPRESSED : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_OBJECT_IDS : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_ENCRYPTION : FALSE FILE_NAMED_STREAMS : TRUE FILE_READ_ONLY_VOLUME : FALSE And yes, calling "ls -i" twice on the network file gives me different i-node numbers. All this seems to have been discussed more than a year ago. Is there no solution for that yet? I'll appreciate any info!
