Well, it appears something is wrong with my rsync'ing /cygdrive/d. I am not able to rsync and backup /cygdrive/d/user1 directory at all! The rsync process just hangs. Rsync works on other directories in /cygdrive/c and / but not on /cygdrive/d/<dirs>. Here is what I have on the Windows XP box running Cygwin: $ mount C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode) c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount) d: on /cygdrive/d type system (binmode,noumount) e: on /cygdrive/e type system (binmode,noumount) Any comments? ->HS -- 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/
