Subject: cygwin installation on a synology NAS drive

Hi

I created a shared folder on a Synology NAS and mapped it to a Windows 7
host system. Both Windows 7 and Synology NAS have the same named user
account (part of admin groups). The named user has full access to the
shared folder on the NAS side.

I then tried installing latest cygwin versions (x86/x64) on the mapped
drive (at the root filesystem) but got permissions errors from setup.exe

Setup was actually able to create the cygwin directory structure but
could not write to the log file.

Creating directories/files and writing to files is no problem with
windows tools on the mapped drive.

Anybody else tried this setup or knows what's going on here ? Or is a
cygwin installation on a NAS not supported ? 

Ciao
  Volker
