I also use this disk to backup my local hard drive with rsync. When it was fat32, everything was fine but now that it is ntfs, I get the following error message many times during the rsync process: $ rsync --modify-window=3D1 --recursive --links --executability --times --quiet --delete /cygdrive/d/Documents /mnt/g/Sauvegarde/ rsync: rename "/mnt/g/Sauvegarde/Documents/Fred/Bal/1.7/Bal/gcc-release/bin= /.configure.exe.JVPk8f" -> "Documents/Fred/Bal/1.7/Bal/gcc-release/bin/configure.exe": Device or resource busy (16) when rsync ends, .configure.exe.?????? still exists and configure.exe does not exist or both do not exist The disk is mounted like this (/etc/fstab): f:/ /mnt/f ntfs noacl,nouser,binary What does this error message mean? Do I have to go back to fat32 (without the possibility to use git)?
