[snip] I have seen that problem and it has nothing to do with Cygwin. The problem is with SATA drives and Window's asynchronous unbuffered disk I/O, and my Adaptec 1210SA SATA card and driver (actually, I know the driver is the culprit, but newer drivers are so bad that they can't even be installed). With application that use asynchronous unbuffered disk I/O the disk stops responding after a while, and Windows pops up an error panel that shows the "timeout" message. How does is happen in your setting? I don't know. Notice that I said "applications", Windows doesn't use the problematic mode, I've only seen a couple of applications using it when you configure them to use the fastest disk I/O possible, one used it all the time (Azureus?) so it was unusable with that disk. Could the problem be caused by something else that runs at the same time as your script? Hope this helps. --=20 Ren=E9 Berber -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
