Simply knowing that this is not a frequently reported problem
is helpful. I'm inclined to suspect now that Bjoern (previous

having made a second fruitless search of FAQs and archives,
I'd like to make a second and final attempt with a simpler
question:
If cp and mv are not reliably copying all of the contents
of an (apparently) normal directory tree with

excerpt from cygcheck -s below). Both with cp and mv, I am
getting error messages when copying or moving rather large
directories (1.4 GB, 89,000 files). For example, the command:
$ cp -Rip p:/rchive q:/
