RE: cp command fails when copying from a network drive


I tested this with the latest release version of cygwin dll on a brand new
machine, and things do work. So it may well be that I had not updated all
the necessary components on the previous version, when I tried this setup.

Thanks for all the help.

Wrong question.  cp works, but only if cygwin1.dll works.  So the better
question is how to get a working version of the cygwin dll.

Are you willing to try the latest snapshot?  If it correctly works around
your buggy filesystem, let us know (so we need not worry any longer); if
it still fails, then Corinna still has some more investigation to do to
see if she can help you with your buggy filesystem.
