Hi cygwin version: 1.3.9 running under win2000 sp 2 samba version 2.2.4 and 2.2.5 on Redhat 7.2 kernel 2.4.18 If I have a named pipe in a directory, and tries to "ls -ald .*" cygwin will hang, and make the samba daemon hang as well. samba daemon is hanging in an open call to the named pipe (Output from strace below) And it is not nfs specific, same result with other named pipes. Tried the faq, and mail archive, with no luck Tried a google search: no luck. Ideas? /Kaj ls from linux: prw------- 1 kmi exbit 0 Aug 20 16:25 .nfs038406e500000048 prw------- 1 kmi exbit 0 Aug 20 16:25 .nfs038406e900000047 output from strace stat64(".nfs038406e500000048", {st_mode=S_IFIFO|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 send(12, "\0\0\0`\377SMB2\0\0\0\0\210A\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 100, 0) = 100 select(21, [5 12 20], NULL, NULL, {60, 0}) = 1 (in [12], left {60, 0}) read(12, "\0\0\0i", 4) = 4 read(12, "\377SMB\242\0\0\0\0\30\7H\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\2\0\310"..., 105) = 105 gettimeofday({1029931277, 993106}, NULL) = 0 geteuid32() = 2828 setresuid32(0xffffffff, 0, 0xffffffff) = 0 geteuid32() = 0 geteuid32() = 0 getegid32() = 999 setresgid32(0xffffffff, 0, 0xffffffff) = 0 getegid32() = 0 getegid32() = 0 setgroups32(0x3, 0x81e0488) = 0 setresgid32(0xffffffff, 0x3e7, 0xffffffff) = 0 getegid32() = 999 setresuid32(0xffffffff, 0xb0c, 0xffffffff) = 0 geteuid32() = 2828 stat64(".nfs038406e500000048", {st_mode=S_IFIFO|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 gettimeofday({1029931277, 993590}, NULL) = 0 fcntl64(0xd, 0xe, 0xbfffeed0, 0x81cc1b8) = 0 open(".nfs038406e500000048", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
