Re[2]: Issues with ACL settings after updating to the latest cygwin.dll

It is normal and was normal for at least seventeen years. That's a blatant lie. It never happened to me before, and I doubled checked this by installing the older 2.3. It didn't happen before 2.4. You'd be surprized… But the actual answer is "yes". I actually am surprised since you seem to

Which warning do you mean here? The "permissions out of order" one. This was not the case before, at least not on my installation, so I don't see how this can be called normal. Come on, be fair. The new ACL handling started out early 2015, got a break when I realized that it doesn't work

It was always the case. Permissions are NOT REQUIRED to be ordered in a specific way, but Explorer is only capable of editing them in the only one way. Means, Explorer is deficient. Explorer. Not Windows. Windows is perfectly capable of handling the Cygwin ACL in the intended way. No, it re

Not sure what Transmission is, but files downloaded with POSIX tools are usually not executable. For instance, download Cygwin's setup-x86.exe with wget. Then try to execute it. It won't since the permissions are set according to your umask and without execute permissions, e.g., 0644. This i

I have the same problem with Transmission. Sorry for another mail, but I need to make another last correction: It's not Transmission specific. A simple $ cd /cygdrive/path/to/download/dir $ touch test will result in the same broken permissions for test. Doing this in $HOME will result in these

Nobody: Read Small correction, this entry is actually S-1-5-21-559282050-488988736-2019639472-513 which actually stalls the file properties window when switching to the security tab for a while. I guess Windows is trying to resolve this SID but gives up (there is no such SID on my system) an

I'm not quite sure what you observe there. The NULL SID ACE only contains extra information about some POSIX bits and the MASK value. It's existence and setting should not influence what you can do with the file. The permission bits are explicitely set elsewhere in the ACL. Can you reproduc

Greetings, xnor! Hey. Usual suspects are BLODA. Most often, antiviruses of questionable origin and mental sanity. Try same tests on a separate system, or in a VM. That's the first thing I've checked. I don't have any anti virus/malware or firewall or similar software ins

What is leaking here? Here are some hard numbers: After the system booted up, nonpaged 70 MB, paged WS 208 MB. One compilation later: nonpaged 157MB, paged WS 289 MB. Another one later: 249 MB, 342 MB. At the moment I'm at 550 MB nonpaged, 650 MB paged WS. The number of system threads and hand

Compilation continuously increases (non) paged pool memory usage

2015-12-28 Thread xnor
Hello, I've noticed on my system (Windows 10, Cygwin64) that a simple ./configure && make of a typical project increases the memory usage, both paged and non-paged pool. After the configure/make is done this memory continues to be used. In task manager memory usage will therefore slowly grow
