It's a good strategy to use a subdirectory like /net/ for those mount points where the hardware may be unreachable, thus it would read /net/z, to avoid performance problems with listing or completion in root directory. regards kf -- 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

My guess is that '/etc/postinstall/passwd-grp.sh' didn't run (or run properly). You should try re-running it. This is probably not the source of the problem but it's something you should look into anyway. It's worth checking /var/log/setup* for any complaints as well, in case this all come back to an installation issue. My best guess?

ls and completion very slow in root dir of a windows drive
Hello, Since my most recent cygwin upgrade today executing a ls in the directories is very slow. Also completion, for example cd Prog [hitting tab] lasts about 20 seconds to expand to Program\ Files. Before that aupdate i had an about 2 months old cygwin 1.7 - the ls behaviour was ok. Now cygwin1.dll is version: 1007.5.0.0. Measuring the times: in /cygdrive/c/ $ time ls AUTOEXEC.BATIDE Perl WINDOWScygwin BMWApps IO.SYSProgram Files Win32App cygwin1_7 BOOT.BAKInstall Python25 XL Driver Library ntldr MSDOS.SYS RECYCLER boot.ini pagefile.sys CONFIG.SYS MSOCache System Volume Information cmdconstemp Documents and Settings NTDETECT.COM TAF cmldr tmp_pic OracleVerkn??pfung mit Lokaler Datentr??ger (C).lnk ctapi_out_gr.txt real0m16.313s user0m0.030s sys 0m0.015s or in /cygdrive/d/ #time ls VC_RED.MSI eula.1042.txt install.res.1031.dll musikbkp 78286fb703a988b923 VC_RED.cab eula.2052.txt install.res.1033.dll eula.1028.txt eula.3082.txt install.res.1036.dll short eula.1031.txt globdata.ini install.res.1040.dll temp Recycled eula.1033.txt imgs_fuer_Florian install.res.1041.dll vcredist.bmp SSSDecoder.log eula.1036.txt install.exe install.res.1042.dll System Volume Information eula.1040.txt install.ini install.res.2052.dll Traces eula.1041.txt install.res.1028.dll install.res.3082.dll real0m12.172s user0m0.030s sys 0m0.015s Doing a ls in a subdirectory needs much less time: # time ls (Folder list) real0m0.062s user0m0.046s sys 0m0.015s The performance in subdirectories is ok.

Re: ls and completion very slow in root dir of a windows drive
Hello, is it possible to find the reason for the high delay on my pc? I tried a strace ls. Its output is attached. the long delay is after the line: 15 21715 [main] ls 1960 time: 1277304158 = time (0)^M then comes: 21057910 21079625 [main] ls 1960 stat_worker: 0 = (\??\C:\cygwin1_7\cygdrive, 0x22C7E0) I hope this helps. I had one cygwin instance initially running without this ls behaviour on drive d. After having switched in it to c: and do a ls it became slow again. Maybe there is some side effect necessary?
