Cygwin:
I have a 200 GB drive (E:) that I store ntbackup images on. After making a
backup image, I use Cygwin to gzip the image and md5sum the tarball. A few
days ago, gzip started complaining "No space left on device":
<CVSENV>2006-05-29 12:13:47 Administrator@p42800e /backup/bin/p42800
e
$ /usr/bin/gzip '/cygdrive/e/backup/p42800e/p42800e-exchange-2006052
7-230000.bkf'
gzip: /cygdrive/e/backup/p42800e/p42800e-exchange-20060527-230000.bk
f.gz: No space left on device
Cygwin "md5sum" seems to work okay.
The Windows properties dialog for the drive indicates 125 GB used and 61.3
GB available.
I also noticed that Cygwin "df" indicates a large negative number for space
used and a small positive number for space available:
<CVSENV>2006-05-29 12:14:15 Administrator@p42800e /backup/bin/p42800
e
$ df

"cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out" is attached FYI.
Any suggestions?
TIA,
David
