Hi,
What type of file caching does Cygwin use and can
it be disabled?
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.
