RE: Cygwin 3.1.X Fatal Errors - add_item ("\??\C:", "/", ...) failed, errno 22
Thanks to Marco for the advice, and special thanks to Henri for additional support. As noted on https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2020-01/msg00129.html, my problem was due to installing Cygwin in the drive root. I was forced to do this some years ago because of a third-party package that required Cygwin to be installed there. Following a suggestion from Henri, I moved C:\bin, etc. to C:\Cygwin and then ran setup with the latter as the installation directory. I could then apply the 3.1.X update without problems. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

have now tried the same update on two other systems.
Cygwin 3.0.7-1 32-bit works fine on three different systems: one Windows 7
64-bit, two Windows 10 64-bit. However, Cygwin 3.1.1-1 and 3.2.1-1 fail to
install cleanly on these systems and leave me with a Cygwin installation
that gives fatal errors.
In response to Marco Atzeri's comments:

The problem may be due to an update from a previous version of Cygwin rather
than a clean install. I haven't yet tried completely uninstalling and
reinstalling Cygwin on these systems, but will do so if necessary.
you can just make a installation in a different directory.

That's correct. It's something deep within Cygwin that's failing. After
trying to install Cygwin 3.1.1-1 or 3.2.1-1, I rebooted to make sure that
the new cygwin1 DLL was being used. All Cygwin binaries (dash, ls, rebase,
etc.) then fail with:
*** fatal error - add_item ("\??\C:", "/", ...) failed, errno 22
This may be due to a forking issue rather than a rebase issue. On tracing
"ls" there is a strange reference to '\??\C'. Could that be related to a
cygdrive prefix problem or a mount problem?
the format is fine

I wonder why Cygwin 3.0.7-1 would work fine but not any later version.
Evidently there is a significant difference in later versions.
there are several changes between 3.0.x and 3.1.y
some are not perfect and still some polishing is in progress
I see the same errors when trying to update three different systems (one
Windows 7, two Windows 10), so it isn't specific to one system. These also
have different mounts for different disks (respectively C: is an HDD, C: is
an SSD, C: is an SSD and D: is an HDD).
What is common to these systems is that they are 64-bit Windows being used
with 32-bit Cygwin, that Cygwin is installed in the root of the C drive, and
that I'm trying to update from Cygwin 3.0.7-1 rather than doing a clean
install.
try a parallel minimal installation just as double check
