Seems like the latest Cygwin made some progress in automounting and accessing the VSS volumes. i.e. under /proc/sys/Device/HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy But it doesn't let you access the volumes as block devices. The w32 name space paths like "\\.\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy" can be accessed at cmd.exe but not in Cygwin.
I am running dd.exe to dump a VSS volume with aforementioned path and it works fine at CMD but not at Cygwin terminal. So, is there a way to access VSS volumes as block devices in Cygwin? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
