Cygwin upgrade hangs at prermove step

As I said before, the test is one that comes with gcc-4.0.2, it fails only on Windows as far as I know. To answer your question: is just a test, it should work with some Windows related tweaking but it's just a test. Besides, what other memory is there available that a process has under its control? Yes, I know, mmap() should be used w/o MAP_FIXED and let the OS choose where to map, but the interesting part of this test is to use MAP_FIXED. -- René Berber -- 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/

Bingo! hostname is called from /etc/csh.cshrc and /etc/profile.d/complete.tcsh, are you using csh or tcsh? That would explain what is going on. The solution would be to add hostname.exe to the list of programs allowed to use the Internet (Windows firewall) or open the respective port (53 if it's using DNS).

I'm not an expert but I think the example did comply with all the Windows "granularity" requirements and unless I'm really missing something else it should have worked without the invalid argument error.

And the /dev/console : permission denied problem has faded into oblivion. SOMEWHAT RESOLVED means that, although I cannot say for certain what caused that nastiness...

Nope. Object IDs are not inode numbers. I suggest reading on object IDs in MSDN. > Is there a reason for not using this? GetVolumeInformation is already > used in several other places within cygwin. Samba reports FS_PERSISTENT_ACLS, but the way has_acls() is treated in case of CYGWIN=nosmbntsec (the default) disables its usage. I think I found a bug though, which might explain inconsistent behaviour. I'm looking into it. But using FILE_SUPPORTS_OBJECT_IDS is definitely incorrect. And, just as a side note, the Samba version I'm using (3.0.20a) does not report that it supports FILE_SUPPORTS_OBJECT_IDS.

I didn't inspect the testcase all too closely since it's annoyingly long for such a simple test. But what exactly do you expect when trying to mmap an arbitrary memory address in the virtual address space which you know nothing about? The code is making invalid assumptions about the usage of the underlying memory layout. Don't use MAP_FIXED unless you know what you're doing.
