Hello.

When I try:

mkfifo fifo
exec 5<>fifo

I get "Device or resource busy" error message. On linux distro these lines work well.

no error massages on latest snapshot (http://cygwin.com/snapshots/)


$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 ........... 1.7.16s(0.261/5/3) 20120715 16:28:30 i686 Cygwin



I made some browising through archives and encountered notices that FIFOs implementation in Cygwin is incomplete. Is this the cause or I miss something?


What is your cygwin version ?
