We're using a version of Cygwin that's at least a year old. Someone found today that he can't diff two large files (200MB each) across the network using Cygwin. The error we get is:
$ diff //samba/damita-nobackup/chitra/SWFILES/OIP/RF_Testing/OIP01_SWRF_IO.txt //samba/damita-nobackup/chitra/3F01/OIP/RF_Testing/OIP01_HWRF_IO.txt diff: //samba/damita-nobackup/chitra/SWFILES/OIP/RF_Testing/OIP01_SWRF_IO.txt: Resource temporarily unavailable
If we copy the files across the network using Cygwin cp and then diff locally, it does work.
I had a look at http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.bloda but I don't think we fall into that situation.
I've included a small portion of an strace - is this an interesting bug, or something that's been fixed a while ago?
Why not install a new cygwin (and diff if necessary) package and check it out for yourself? As long as you have the original versions for the newer package(s), you can always reinstall them if you don't like what you see.
