Thanks for your effort Robert. I was hoping that my Cygwin environment
was somehow to blame.
What did you mean that formatting alone was not sufficient? I was able
to read and write to the drive once the format was complete.

Thanks Larry. Version Updated. 1.5.24 is correct.
You WAG wrong however. Once the Volume has been formated in a native
Cygwin window I can format successfully via SSH and all output is
displayed.
With a newly created tiny volume the hang last in excess of an hour
and should complete in second.

Ok. I have a couple of Virtual Machines setup here for testing purposes
and such so I setup a cygwin install on the XP one (snapshot before hand
so it can revert back clean) and installed a base cygwin setup with
openssh. Then I installed the server and set it up as a service. I
also turned off the firewall on it (no one can access it outside of the
network anyways). I did not do anything special but it has 2 virtual
hard drives to it. A 1 GB one was added to the virtual machine and I
created one unformatted partition that did not have any particular
partition type setup. Therefore it just showed up as RAW for now. I
then had to format it but I tried this via SSH.
It got stuck right after the line that shows "Proceed with Format
(Y/N)?" same as the OP. The same command worked fine once I formatted
the partition locally via Disk Management. This does not appear to be a
WAG (lack of tty support) issue though as this partition formats quickly
(under 10 seconds) when done locally but I waited at least a minute for
it to complete without success. Please note that formatting using the
format command locally wasn't sufficient. It had to be done via Disk
Management for some reason. Both quick formats and regular formats got
stuck. Format.com is listed in the processes during this with zero
activity and no disk activity is being reported by the Virtual Machine.
Last but not least once it is formatted via Disk Management it works
fine via a SSH session with all output coming back on the tty.
My own cygcheck.out is attached here.
Operating System: Windows XP SP2 (all updates installed)
Cygwin Version: 1.5.24 (latest)
Stock install with only openssh (+ dependencies) and nano installed
Any tests you want me to do I am more than willing to. The environment
is there to test out scenarios.
