Well, it appears something is wrong with my rsync'ing /cygdrive/d. I am
not able to rsync and backup /cygdrive/d/user1 directory at all! The
rsync process just hangs. Rsync works on other directories in
/cygdrive/c and / but not on /cygdrive/d/<dirs>.

Here is what I have on the Windows XP box running Cygwin:
$ mount
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount)
d: on /cygdrive/d type system (binmode,noumount)
e: on /cygdrive/e type system (binmode,noumount)


Any comments?
