The only answer in the faq (that I see) relates to a deprecated
feature for drive specification. In this case cardano is a machine.
I have mounted the smb share that cardano exports.
So the question still stands if I run:
find //cardano/anm/sw/cvsroot -name somefile
it takes 2/3 the time as:
find /anm/sw/cvsroot -name somefile
So it seems that there is a pretty serious consequence in using the
cygwin mount system against network shares is expensive.
does anybody have any idea what is going on here?
