Hi, I run cygwin in Vista:
I can create a volume shadow copy with vshadow from the Microsoft SDK as well as map it to drive B:. I can access /cygdrive/b (bash) as well as B: (cmd) from terminals of the same user which has mapped the shadow copy to the drive. But I can not access the shadow copy from terminals of other users AND my rsyncd, which runs under the same user where the shadow copy was mapped, can't access /cygdrive/b. rsync: chdir /cygdrive/b failed I try the same under Windows XP and it works only one time :-O I map the drive with "dosdev b: \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device... rsyncd works but has locked files 2009/02/18 19:54:05 [2112] rsync: send_files failed to open "Dokumente und Einstellungen/Administrator/Lokale Einstellungen/Anwendungsdaten/Microsoft/Windows/UsrClass.dat" (in B): Device or resource busy (16) After dosdev -r -d b: and again dosdev b: \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device... I get from rsyncd: 2009/02/18 20:03:19 [2580] name lookup failed for 127.0.0.1: Unknown server error 2009/02/18 20:03:19 [2580] connect from UNKNOWN (127.0.0.1) 2009/02/18 20:03:19 [2580] rsync: chdir /cygdrive/b failed : No such file or directory (2) In both (XP) cases ls -alh /cygdrive/b will list the content of drive c: Matthias -- Don't Panic -- 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/
