- Subject: File system problem with Vista SP1 RC
This started out as a VIM problem and now narrowed down to a simple file system problem
>cat foo
AAAAAAAA
>cat bar
BBBB
>cp bar foo
>cat foo
BBBB
AAA
>
foo - file contains "AAAAAAAA\n"
bar - file contains "BBBB\n"
I can duplicate the same problem in VIM but cannot duplicate using notepad
So is this a problem with the cygwin file system or Vista? Didn't have this problem before SP1 RC
Seems to be a file system I/O problem where buffers are written out without truncation.
I was going to uninstall SP1 RC but now waiting for official SP1 first.
Cygwin DLL 1.5.25 SP 1 v.668
