Re: Windows 2003 Cygwin Netapp remote filesystem
Cool, thanks for all the help, I will probably go with that patch, since the code I wrote won't be around in any updates. Although I used a flag much like CFN_KEEP_BEG_DBL_SLASH and then did much the same thing. And /cygdrive/c was working, but my remote cygdrive's were not, it was the mount environment that I was missing on the windows side, because if you specifically declare the mounts in the registry, it would work. thanks again On Fri, Dec 26, 2008 at 8:10 PM, Matt McCutchen m...@mattmccutchen.net wrote: On Fri, 2008-12-26 at 14:13 -0700, Michael Chletsos wrote: Ok so I have figured out the problem with my rsync daemon is the fact that rsync interprets // as / and therefore is not seeing this as a unc path, but rather a absolute path.

Re: Windows 2003 Cygwin Netapp remote filesystem
Ok so I have figured out the problem with my rsync daemon is the fact that rsync interprets // as / and therefore is not seeing this as a unc path, but rather a absolute path. and /cygdrive/h does not work because it is not setup outside of the cygwin environment, i.e. a windows service. I could add it to the registry for cygwin mount points, but I think a fix to the code might be better. Any suggestions in the source, where this // problem might live?

Even though it's a windows service, it does have the cygwin environment. E.g. /cygdrive/c should still work. I've seen a similar problem with other cygwin programs running as services. E.g. the OpenSSH server, running as a windows service - you log in over SSH, but can't access network shares from that session. People have described workarounds for the OpenSSH problem, but none looked simple or worked in every situation. I could add it to the registry for cygwin mount points, but I think a fix to the code might be better. You might try that first, because it might not work, and then you'll know if there is any point trying to get // passed directly. -- Jamie -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.

Windows 2003 Cygwin Netapp remote filesystem
Amongst various problems I am having, I am trying to run an rsync daemon on a windows 2003 server with cygwin installed. It works fine, except that I can't seem to get the daemon to chdir to any file that is remotely mounted from my Netapp. Other windows shares or local disks chdir just fine. very weird. I think it has something to do with the automapping of shares in cygwin. Any help would be appreciated. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.

One more thing to check: is the daemon running as a user that has permission to access the share? (I'm not familiar with the details of Cygwin permissions, but that's one reason I thought of why ls might work but an rsync daemon wouldn't.) What error message do you get in the daemon's log?
