In the current release of cygwin, I'm still having the problem where I can't use cp with a network appliance drive.
Below is an illustration of my problem, along with the information requested in http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2006-01/msg00818.html $ mkdir /tmp/target $ cp *.html /tmp/target/. cp: skipping file `file1.html', as it was replaced while being copied cp: skipping file `file2.html', as it was replaced while being copied cp: skipping file `file3.html', as it was replaced while being copied $ ~/src/getvolinfo . rootdir: \\filervocb\it\ Volume Name : <it> Serial Number : 721521953 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 Is there some way (perhaps an environmental variable) to shut off this feature? I've never benefited from it, and it causes me quite a bit of pain.
