The only answer in the faq (that I see) relates to a deprecated feature for drive specification. In this case cardano is a machine. I have mounted the smb share that cardano exports. So the question still stands if I run: find //cardano/anm/sw/cvsroot -name somefile it takes 2/3 the time as: find /anm/sw/cvsroot -name somefile So it seems that there is a pretty serious consequence in using the cygwin mount system against network shares is expensive. does anybody have any idea what is going on here? mark. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
