Error accessing mapped drive >2TB?

[Nem W Schlecht]

I have 2 filesystem shares from a Mac that I'm mapping on Windows 7 as
my 'S' and 'T' drives.  On the Mac, both directories are owned by the
same user/group and shared the same.  One drive is 80GB (S) and the
other drive is 3TB (T).  I can access /cydrive/s just fine.  But
/cygdrive/t shows up with "?" for user and group and gives me
"Input/output error" when I try to cd or ls it.

When I try via a UNC path, I get the same thing - 80GB works, 3TB does not.

The only thing I can think of is that the 2nd drive is >2TB.  Cygwin
can access a 5TB local drive just fine, but won't access this 3TB
remote drive.  I can access the 3TB drive just fine from Windows,
though.  Is there a limit of some sort of limit when mounting a drive?
 Any settings I can tweak?

Re: Fonts reorganization and additions

[Fergus]

>> I re-installed my two font packages:

OK, sorry, I've tried every which way to recover from the consequences of
this reorganisation including the re-installation described above by Jim
Reisert using setup.ini timestamped 1442007529; but still got the "Error
writing file" message

Are users meant to be able to recover their glitch-free system using
self-help (in which case can anybody please provide a recipe e.g. a
sequenced re-installation?!) or are we awaiting a fix with a new timestamp?
Just a question, not a nag ... thank you.

I'm sure this will be fixed properly in due course.  In the meantime, here's a 
workaround:


1. Create the directory /etc/X11/fontpath.d .

2. Create a file in that directory.  [This is to prevent deletion of the 
directory during step 3.]


3. Reinstall xorg-x11-fonts-dpi75 and xorg-x11-fonts-misc.

Re: Fonts reorganization and additions

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

I also had things installed "out of order".  The new Xorg server
package didn't arrive until after I had installed the updated font
packages.  Saturday morning, I was able to install the latest Xorg
server, but found I did not have an /etc/X11/fontpath.d directory, so
I re-installed my two font packages:

xorg-x11-fonts-dpi75
xorg-x11-fonts-misc

While I can startup Emacs again without -Q, the default Emacs font is
bigger than what I had before, using:

emacs.font: -adobe-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-96-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1

How do I return to the smaller font specified above?
