After Windows 10 upgrade, SH fails "fork: can't reserve memory for parent stack"

2016-01-10 Thread Peter Binney
After Windows 10 upgraded itself from 10.0 (Build 10240) to 1511 (Build 10586) shell scripts fail with fork errors. This can be demonstrated from a Cygwin64 Terminal window by running a trivial pair of commands. Create these two files in a folder: 1. win1511.pl containing the three lines: my

64-bit TAR fails with "Cannot connect to e: resolve failed"

Please ignore/delete this - I realise this has nothing to do with the change from 32 to 64 bit. It has always been a problem, which I have a wrapper script to work round (I'd forgotten to install the wrapper after the upgrade). Apologies for a mis-post! -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.co

64-bit TAR fails with "Cannot connect to e: resolve failed"

I have just "upgraded" to Cygwin 64 bit (from 32 bit) on Windows 8. With 32 bit, I could do: tar vtf e:/temp/filename.tar With 64 bit this fails saying: tar: Cannot connect to e: resolve failed Using cygwin paths it is OK. ie: tar vtf /cygdrive/e/temp/filename.tar Here is the result of runnin

Have found my solution ... robocopy. Using it's /secfix option copied files are owned by the copying user. eg: robocopy x:\tmp .\tmp /e /secfix Note: you need a not-too-old version of Robocopy for the /secfix support (I was using v 1.96). On 16 March 2011 19:09, Peter Binney wrote: &

Sorry to be really dim, but I can't see how to do this. I am trying to add a follow-on message to http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-03/msg00167.html (which I initiated). But, I posted my original message before I had subscribed to the list under my posting email address (gmail.com). I had sub

LS and TAR don't see any file permissions ("ls -l" shows "----------+ ...")

2011-03-04 Thread Peter Binney
When running "ls -l" the permissions field shows as "--+". Oddly, "ls -l" shows the correct permissions if the pathname uses the windows drive letter syntax. eg: $ pwd /cygdrive/c $ ls -l tmp/plb.txt --+ 1 ga2binn Domain Users 5527 Mar  3 13:54 tmp/plb.txt $ ls -l c:/tmp/plb.txt -r
