Hi We're using a version of Cygwin that's at least a year old. Someone found today that he can't diff two large files (200MB each) across the network using Cygwin. The error we get is:
$ diff //samba/damita-nobackup/chitra/SWFILES/OIP/RF_Testing/OIP01_SWRF_IO.txt //samba/damita-nobackup/chitra/3F01/OIP/RF_Testing/OIP01_HWRF_IO.txt diff: //samba/damita-nobackup/chitra/SWFILES/OIP/RF_Testing/OIP01_SWRF_IO.txt: Resource temporarily unavailable If we copy the files across the network using Cygwin cp and then diff locally, it does work. I had a look at http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.bloda but I don't think we fall into that situation. I've included a small portion of an strace - is this an interesting bug, or something that's been fixed a while ago? (Fixed a while ago and therefore an indication we should once more go looking for a working Cygwin mirror - rsync.planetmirror.com has been broken for about 2 months now - and try a test install of the latest version and check everything we depend on still works as it used to, or else plan how to change our systems to work.) luke 149319 253053 [main] diff 2192 fhandler_base::raw_read: ReadFile //samba/damita-nobackup/chitra/SWFILES/OIP/RF_Testing/OIP01_SWRF_IO.txt(0x704) failed, Win32 error 1450 142 253195 [main] diff 2192 seterrno_from_win_error: /ext/build/netrel/src/cygwin-1.5.23-1/winsup/cygwin/fhandler.cc:273 windows error 1450 1025 254220 [main] diff 2192 geterrno_from_win_error: windows error 1450 == errno 11 55 254275 [main] diff 2192 __set_errno: void seterrno_from_win_error(const char*, int, DWORD):310 val 11 57 254332 [main] diff 2192 fhandler_base::read: returning -1, binary mode 56 254388 [main] diff 2192 readv: -1 = readv (3, 0x22C8A0, 1), errno 11 420 254808 [main] diff 2192 sig_send: sendsig 0x70C, pid 2192, signal -34, its_me 1 68 254876 [main] diff 2192 sig_send: wakeup 0x6F8 65 254941 [main] diff 2192 sig_send: Waiting for pack.wakeup 0x6F8 62 255003 [sig] diff 2192 wait_sig: signalling pack.wakeup 0x6F8 73 255076 [main] diff 2192 sig_send: returning 0x0 from sending signal -34 110 255186 [main] diff 2192 fhandler_base::write: binary write diff: 351 255537 [main] diff 2192 sig_send: sendsig 0x70C, pid 2192, signal -34, its_me 1 60 255597 [main] diff 2192 sig_send: wakeup 0x6F8 108 255705 [main] diff 2192 sig_send: Waiting for pack.wakeup 0x6F8 70 255775 [sig] diff 2192 wait_sig: signalling pack.wakeup 0x6F8 69 255844 [main] diff 2192 sig_send: returning 0x0 from sending signal -34 100 255944 [main] diff 2192 fhandler_base::write: binary write SWFILES/OIP/RF_Testing/OIP01_SWRF_IO.txt 370 256314 [main] diff 2192 sig_send: sendsig 0x70C, pid 2192, signal -34, its_me 1 60 256374 [main] diff 2192 sig_send: wakeup 0x6F8 61 256435 [main] diff 2192 sig_send: Waiting for pack.wakeup 0x6F8 59 256494 [sig] diff 2192 wait_sig: signalling pack.wakeup 0x6F8 68 256562 [main] diff 2192 sig_send: returning 0x0 from sending signal -34 119 256681 [main] diff 2192 fhandler_base::write: binary write : Resource temporarily unavailable 204 256885 [main] diff 2192 sig_send: sendsig 0x70C, pid 2192, signal -34, its_me 1 59 256944 [main] diff 2192 sig_send: wakeup 0x6F8 61 257005 [main] diff 2192 sig_send: Waiting for pack.wakeup 0x6F8 67 257072 [sig] diff 2192 wait_sig: signalling pack.wakeup 0x6F8 67 257139 [main] diff 2192 sig_send: returning 0x0 from sending signal -34 100 257239 [main] diff 2192 fhandler_base::write: binary write 509 257748 [main] diff 2192 close: close (0) 60 257808 [main] diff 2192 fhandler_base::close: closing handle 0x160 62 257870 [main] diff 2192 close: 0 = close (0) 379 258249 [main] diff 2192 close: close (1) 51 258300 [main] diff 2192 fhandler_base::close: closing handle 0x164 57 258357 [main] diff 2192 close: 0 = close (1) 408 258765 [main] diff 2192 close: close (2) 51 258816 [main] diff 2192 fhandler_base::close: closing handle 0x7D8 56 258872 [main] diff 2192 close: 0 = close (2) 220 259092 [main] diff 2192 do_exit: do_exit (512), exit_state 0 56 259148 [main] diff 2192 void: 0x0 = signal (20, 0x1) 53 259201 [main] diff 2192 void: 0x0 = signal (1, 0x1) 52 259253 [main] diff 2192 void: 0x0 = signal (2, 0x1) 52 259305 [main] diff 2192 void: 0x0 = signal (3, 0x1) 52 259357 [main] diff 2192 fhandler_base::close: closing //samba/damita-nobackup/chitra/SWFILES/OIP/RF_Testing/OIP01_SWRF_IO.txt handle 0x704 727 260084 [main] diff 2192 fhandler_base::close: closing //samba/damita-nobackup/chitra/3F01/OIP/RF_Testing/OIP01_HWRF_IO.txt handle 0x6FC 536 260620 [main] diff 2192 sigproc_terminate: entering 46 260666 [main] diff 2192 sig_send: sendsig 0x70C, pid 2192, signal -42, its_me 1 45 260711 [main] diff 2192 sig_send: Not waiting for sigcomplete. its_me 1 signal -42 38 260749 [main] diff 2192 sig_send: returning 0x0 from sending signal -42 36 260785 [main] diff 2192 proc_terminate: nprocs 0 36 260821 [main] diff 2192 proc_terminate: leaving [etc.] -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
