But has not worked for me for some time on Win2K.
Have tried clean install of cygwin and applied latest updates to Win2K
Professional. I've attached the output of 'cygcheck -s -v -r'.
The version of cygwin I've used works fine on WinXp and on Win2K server
under VmWare on the host PC where 'cp' fails.
Following session snippet illustrates the problem:
Administrator@stack01 ~
$ ls -l
total 0
Administrator@stack01 ~
$ cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out
cygcheck: dump_sysinfo: GetVolumeInformation() failed: 87
Administrator@stack01 ~
$ ls -l
total 60
-rw-r--r-- 1 Administ None 60796 Oct 4 22:35 cygcheck.out
Administrator@stack01 ~
$ cp cygcheck.out cygcheck.out.0
Administrator@stack01 ~
$ ls -l
total 120
-rw-r--r-- 1 Administ None 60796 Oct 4 22:35 cygcheck.out
-rw-r--r-- 1 Administ None 60796 Oct 4 22:35 cygcheck.out.0
Administrator@stack01 ~
$ cp cygcheck.out cygcheck.out.0
cp: writing `cygcheck.out.0': Invalid request code

$ rmdir cygcheck.out.0
Administrator@stack01 ~
$ cp cygcheck.out cygcheck.out.0
Administrator@stack01 ~
$ ls -l

-rw-r--r-- 1 Administ None 60796 Oct 4 22:52 cygcheck.out.0
Administrator@stack01 ~
$ cp -f cygcheck.out cygcheck.out.0
cp: writing `cygcheck.out.0': Invalid request code
Administrator@stack01 ~
$ ls -l

What to do now apart from 'rm' prior to 'cp'?
