Hmm. The docs suggest that the replace-on-reboot functionality a) can't work on network drives b) needs write access to the registry key: "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations" c) may fail if "the System volume is a basic volume [ ... and ... ] the destination drive or the source drive is located on a dynamic volume" Any of those apply to you guys? cheers, DaveK -- 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
