Uh, I meant Volume Shadow Copy (VSC), not reparse points. Apparently,

Just a note. I think the original poster was *mounting* the Win2K box from
Linux. As such, talking about Cygwin's attempts to use backup operators
shouldn't help at all - as that's referring to running rsync *server* under
Windows - it won't have any affect on how SMB passes locks to the SMB
client

Hi!
I had a brief look sometime ago at hacking something like this into rsync,
but I didn't find a C API for reparse points. If you make progress, please
keep me (or rsync mailing list) posted!

Hmmm. It's odd to think that Cygwin always uses backup semantics,
because it DEFINITELY fails to process quite a lot of files that the
high-dollar win32-native backup utilities can process.
My experience has been that cygwin can open (for reading) any file that
you can use the GUI to drag-and-

Jason, this is absolutely great info on the Win32 file locking system
and sounds like a very very interesting patch indeed.
A quick question, though - how hard would it be to use backup semantics
as a default for an additional mount for the entire filesystem, rather
than trying to tack it into

hi,
1) yes iam talking about the suggested "braindamaged windows OS(2000)". Iam trying to
mount the drive from windows to linux and do a local rsync between mounted folder and
a local folder.
2) What happens when my mounted folder contains a "OPEN FILE" Does rsync ignore it or

Another way of phrasing that would be to say "If your OS prevents open
files from being accessed normally, you need to deal with that at the OS
level."
And in case you were wondering, yes, Windows is a "brain-damaged" OS in
that regard (and many others, but I digress). Under Window
