I know, this has been reported before. I searched the archive and it was suggested that upgrading to 1.7.5 would fix the problem, but apparently not in my case.
I am running WindowsXPx64 and cygwin.dll 1.7.5-1. I'm attempting to copy a file from a Tandem system (stop laughing) running Samba (stop laughing). and get the error: cp: skipping file `//tiny.labs/wjohnson/build/TANDEM/bin/qpcfg', as it was replaced while being copied I tried listing the inode number and it still seems to change between each try. Something like: D:\dev>ls -i //tiny.labs/wjohnson/build/TANDEM/bin/qpcfg 18446738026459551968 //tiny.labs/wjohnson/build/TANDEM/bin/qpcfg D:\dev>ls -i //tiny.labs/wjohnson/build/TANDEM/bin/qpcfg 18446738026451034128 //tiny.labs/wjohnson/build/TANDEM/bin/qpcfg I have another (older) system running Cygwin on 32 bit windows and Cygwin 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) and it seems to work fine. I also tried this on a 32 bit VM running WindowsXP and 1.7.5-1, hosted on the same 64 bit system where it fails and it works there as well, but does not work on a similar VM with 64 bit XP and 1.7.5. Looks like this is an issue with 1.7.x and 64 bit windows. Any suggestions on what to try would be appreciated, otherwise I will have to go back to 1.5.25.
