So it's not just me having massive problems with the NT permissions which are being messed up by Cygwin tools like rsync. Actually most Cygwin users should see these problems, I guess, because Windows 2000 and XP use NTFS. I can't use rsync anymore, because the permissions of the destination are all wrong after rsync resets them... Oh what a pity! The "-perms" (-p) option I don't use. The fstab doesn't seem to work for me. You mentioned that you mount. How could I verify that my Cygwin does mount, too? Do you have to use a special command in order to mount in Cygwin? I just run a small bash script which uses rsync with the /cygdrive/c/ etc drive syntax. Is this mounting? Could you please post an example of how your fstab looks like? Thanks. My Cygwin/etc/fstab looks like this: none /cygdrive cygdrive user,noacl,posix=0 0 0 But rsync still resets all my NT permissions. -Richard P.S. In case this all works for Cygwin 1.7+ only, it won't work for me because a 'uname -r' reports "1.5.25(0.156/4/2)" so I guess I use Cygwin v1.5 ... -- 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/
