RE: Sharing a single cygwin installation among multiple clients machines

Hi, we also use a single shared CygWin installation. Maybe you don't need a functioning CygWin installation to run 'mount'. I have no problem running 'mount' directly by specifying its full network pathname (with cygwin1.dll being in the same directory). Here's the command I use to "install" a

lock down cygwin1.dl in memory to avoid paging in a network installation?

Hi, does anyone have an idea how to force cygwin1.dll to be loaded entirely and then locked down in physical memory so that NT won't page it out? In our compute server farm, to reduce maintainance overhead, I installed Cygwin UNIX-like "in the network," i.e. the cygwin root (/) and everything be

bug report: cygwin lib can't recover after out of memory

Hi, I observed cygwin getting into a bad state after a memory-allocation failure, from which I only can recover by terminating all cygwin processes to unload the cygwin1.dll. I run a perl script that gradually allocates memory until the memory limit of 256 MB (default) is reached. Perl, as expec
