To the Cygwin mailing list: Back in January, Thomas Baker (who is BCC'd on this) posted a question about a large call to cp giving an error message about not being able to create a hard link. Ref: <http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-01/msg00890.html>.
I've just upgraded cygwin from 1.3.22-1 (March 18, 2003) to a couple of different 1.5.x versions, including 1.5.5-1 (Sept 20, 2003), and have started getting this error. It happens in a build script that is copying about 30 directories that contain around 3000 files in total. Does anyone know what's going wrong here, or any workarounds other than "don't upgrade"?
