[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: hdparm-6.9-1
A Cygwin port of hdparm is now part of the Cygwin distribution. Hdparm (http://sourceforge.net/projects/hdparm) is a Linux tool to get/set ATA/SATA drive parameters and driver settings. I have added a HDIO_DRIVE_CMD ioctl emulation layer to provide the drive related command subset of hdparm on Windows. It should work on XP SP2 and 2003 if the driver provides ATA_PASS_THROUGH. It also supports 2000 and XP SP1 if undocumented IDE_PASS_THROUGH is available. I haven't tested it on Vista yet. Examples: hdparm -I /dev/sda -- print disk information and current settings hdparm -M 128 /dev/sda -- set acoustic management to quiet hdparm -M 254 /dev/sda -- set acoustic management to fast hdparm -S 120 /dev/sdb -- set 2nd disks standby timeout to 10min hdparm -y /dev/sdb -- set 2nd disk to standby mode hdparm -t /dev/sda -- perform disk read timings hdparm --security-freeze /dev/sda -- Freeze security settings (There are still BIOS versions which leave the drive vulnerable) Administrator rights are required to run these commands. Device names and supported command subset: hdparm - get/set hard disk parameters - version v6.9-20070228 (Cygwin) Usage: hdparm [options] [device] Device: /dev/hd[a-z]harddisk 0,1,... /dev/sd[a-z]harddisk 0,1,... /dev/scd[0-9] cd-rom 0,1,... Options: -A set drive read-lookahead flag (0/1) -B set Advanced Power Management setting (1-255) -C check IDE power mode status --debug enable debugging output --direct use O_DIRECT to bypass page cache for timings -D enable/disable drive defect management -f flush buffer cache for device on exit -g display drive geometry -h display terse usage information -H read temperature from drive (Hitachi only) -i display drive identification -I detailed/current information directly from drive --Istdin read identify data from stdin as ASCII hex --Istdout write identify data to stdout as ASCII hex -K set drive keep_features_over_reset flag (0/1) -L set drive doorlock (0/1) (removable harddisks only) -M get/set acoustic management (0-254, 128: quiet, 254: fast) (EXPERIMENTAL) -P set drive prefetch count -q change next setting quietly -s set power-up in standby flag (0/1) -S set standby (spindown) timeout -t perform device read timings -T perform cache read timings -v defaults; same as -g for IDE drives -V display program version and exit immediately -w perform device reset (DANGEROUS) -W set drive write-caching flag (0/1) (DANGEROUS) -X set IDE xfer mode (DANGEROUS) -y put IDE drive in standby mode -Y put IDE drive to sleep -Z disable Seagate auto-powersaving mode --security-freeze Freeze security settings until reset Christian Franke -- To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.

Re: ls output still truncated
Chuck wrote: Folks I could really use some help here. I still cannot get the ls command to work reliably. It worked for years and about two weeks ago started sputtering. I have completely unstalled all cygwin packages, deleted the directories, and reinstalled from scratch. Even just installing the bare mimimum packages and running a bash shell without X or even a .profile, ls still fails to output anything 50% of the time. One other observation I've made is there's a similar program named dir.exe in the /usr/bin directory. It seems to do pretty much the same thing as ls. In fact the file sizes and timestamps are even the same. It works every time. I could just alias ls=/usr/bin/dir but that seems more like a work-around rather than fixing the real problem. Can anyone help with this? TIA For anyone interested, the problem turned out not to be caused by either anti-virus or anyti-spyware software, but rather it was LanDesk. When I stopped the LANDesk Software Monitoring service, the problem went away. When I restarted it, it returned. Thanks to all who helped in pointing me in the right direction.

Bash-Scripting: any way to pre-initialize readline's edit buffer with a user-defined string?

So my bash code looks like this: read -er -pItemX: ITEMX Most of the items have default values, and I would find it very user-friendly, if readline's edit buffer would be pre- initialized with this default value, instead of an empty string.

Re: /dev/null timing and clock skew problems
Pedro Alves writes: No, but I'm on FAT32 on this machine. Problem is described here: http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq22_18.html According to that same page, DJGPP has a local hack^Wpatch to suppress that warning: DJGPP ports of GNU Make v3.77 and later allow for up to 3 seconds of positive difference between the file timestamp and the system clock (that is, the file is allowed to be up to 3 seconds into the future), before the above warning is printed. So upgrading to the latest version of Make should eliminate such bogus warnings and leave you only with messages due to real clock skews. The code for this is available in standard Make, but it isn't enabled in the current build on Cygwin. (The code can be found in remake.c, at line 1277.

RE: Deprecating ntea
Corrina Vinschen wrote: Hi, I think it's time to remove the CYGWIN=ntea setting from Cygwin. (see http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html) The reason is that it's just a fake. It fakes POSIX permission bits by using the extended attributes capability built into NTFS. it also works on FAT by creating a bulky file in the root directory of the partition. Extended attributes were never implemented on FAT32, so ntea could never work on FAT32. So, IMO, ntea is not at all necessary. Given that practically all Windows systems nowadays are using NTFS and given that NTFS supports real permissions, not only faked ones, I don't see any need for ntea. I even consider ntea as dangerous, because it pretends a security which doesn't exist. That's what the default ntsec setting is for, utilizing real permission settings. Ok, that's my opinion, which should make it clear that I think ntea is old cruft which should be removed from Cygwin. My questions are thus: Does anybody seriously use ntea? Do you think you can't live without it? Is using ntsec or just switching off ntsec no option for you? Why? Or, to phrase it as I did on the cygwin-developers list: Does anybody have a good argument to keep this cruft against all reason? Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat Corinna: I agree that 'ntea' should be removed. Besides being dangerous, it can also cause pain. When I first started using Cygwin, I misunderstood the intent of 'ntea' and included it in the setting of my CYGWIN environment variable. Recently, I upgraded one of my installations, and the 'ntea' setting started causing files on some fileservers to which I connect to be treated as device files. Worse yet, these fileservers would occasionally _not_ show up that way, so the intermittent nature of the problem drove me nuts. Eventually I removed the 'ntea' setting, and the problem went away. The lesson I learned was two-fold: (1) Be _very_ careful when changing settings from the default; (2) Go back occasionally to make _/sure/_ that the settings used make sense. OK, anybody other than the brain-dead should have already known number 2, but I'm a little slower than normal...

Re: /dev/null timing and clock skew problems
Pedro Alves writes: No, but I'm on FAT32 on this machine. Problem is described here: http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq22_18.html According to that same page, DJGPP has a local hack^Wpatch to suppress that warning: DJGPP ports of GNU Make v3.77 and later allow for up to 3 seconds of positive difference between the file timestamp and the system clock (that is, the file is allowed to be up to 3 seconds into the future), before the above warning is printed. So upgrading to the latest version of Make should eliminate such bogus warnings and leave you only with messages due to real clock skews. The code for this is available in standard Make, but it isn't enabled in the current build on Cygwin. (The code can be found in remake.c, at line 1277. It's currently enabled if WINDOWS32 or __MSDOS__ is defined.) Is this just the three second clearance or something more substantial that will guarentee builds ?

garbage in man output
I've just had to reinstall Windows (comments suppressed) and so of course Cygwin too. I've got everything working pretty much as before, except for one new problem: man pages are all coming out with formatting commands rendered as garbage text. For example, the output of 'man ls' starts out with ESC[1mNAMEESC[0m ls - list directory contents where the 'ESC' strings are rendered in inverse video. The first line is supposed to render 'NAME' in bold face. All of my man pages are so full of this stuff as to be close to unreadable. Can someone tell me what's causing it, and how I can fix it? I'm using a PuTTYcyg terminal with CYGWIN=tty ntsec LANG=C TERM=xterm but I get the same results in xterm and a DOS console window. I don't see any other artifacts on the screen. Help??

Re: How to convert 3gp files?
3gp is just a special mp4 in the container format avi and low resolution audio and video, so after adding .avi it should play in Windows Media Player natively. The sound usually uses a weird AAC derivate codec (3GPP AAC+), which Windows Media Player will most likely try to download. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3gp 2007/3/1, Morten Kjarulff [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I just copied a video from my new LG phone. Extension of the file is 3GP. It is easy to google a converter, but does there exist a cygwin package that can convert a 3GP file, so I can play it with Windows Media Player?

And if all else fails, redirect your output to a file, and just attach the file. As for the size of cygcheck -svr, we know about that - we wouldn't ask for it if it weren't important, in spite of the size.

New package: hdparm-6.9-1
A Cygwin port of hdparm is now part of the Cygwin distribution. Hdparm (http://sourceforge.net/projects/hdparm) is a Linux tool to get/set ATA/SATA drive parameters and driver settings. I have added a HDIO_DRIVE_CMD ioctl emulation layer to provide the drive related command subset of hdparm on Windows. It should work on XP SP2 and 2003 if the driver provides ATA_PASS_THROUGH. It also supports 2000 and XP SP1 if undocumented IDE_PASS_THROUGH is available. I haven't tested it on Vista yet.
