Here's my problem: I mount a mapped drive from a local Linux machine. If I first run a = script residing on this mount in Cygwin, then edit it on the linux = machine, cygwin won't see any changes to that file unless I access it = (touch or edit) first. Executing the script again will yeild old = results. For example: - A script on the mounted drive has one line: echo "Old" - I run it in Cygwin and see "Old" echoed - I edit it on the Linux system to be: echo "New" - I run it in Cygwin and see "Old" echoed - I touch the file in Cygwin and run it again and see "New" echoed Sorry if this has been covered, but I found no info in the docs or = archves.

Hi,
 
What type of file caching does Cygwin = use and can=20 it be disabled?
 
Here's my problem:
I mount a mapped drive from a local = Linux=20 machine. If I first run a script residing on this mount in=20 Cygwin, then edit it on the linux machine, cygwin won't see any = changes to=20 that file unless I access it (touch or edit) first.  Executing the = script=20 again will yeild old results.
 
For example:
- A script on the mounted drive has one = line: echo=20 "Old"
- I run it in Cygwin and see "Old"=20 echoed
- I edit it on the Linux system to be: = echo=20 "New"
- I run it in Cygwin and see "Old"=20 echoed
- I touch the file in Cygwin and run it = again and=20 see "New" echoed
 
Sorry if this has been covered, but I = found no info=20 in the docs or archves.
