moving Cygwin64 to another drive

moving Cygwin64 to another drive

[Ernie Rael]

Greetings,

I found a thread, https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-04/msg00008.html, 
from last year where Corinna suggests the following (which works for 
her; she notes YMMV)

         robocopy C:\cygwin64 F:\cygwin64 /e /purge /z /copyall /sl

On Win7, I'm on a old cygwin installation (thought I'd copy to more 
spacious disk before updating) I tried this command after ssh to an 
admin account, but the command terminates with

     100%        New File                 210        shells
     100%        New File                1595        ssh_config
                 New File                 668 ssh_host_dsa_key
     2016/09/23 14:54:53 ERROR 5 (0x00000005) Copying File 
C:\cygwin64\etc\ssh_host_dsa_key
     Access is denied.

where

     $ ls -l ssh_host_dsa_key
     -rw------- 1 cyg_server Administrators 668 Apr 20  2014 
ssh_host_dsa_key


I don't know much about windows. Any ideas on how to get this to work?

Run robocopy as admin from an elevated command shell (bash or cmd) with Administrator privileges.

Simply running as admin doesn't solve the problem.

Try from elevated Command Prompt (Admin) with expected path delimiters and switch chars:
	> robocopy C:\cygwin64 F:\cygwin64 /e /purge /z /copyall /sl
I've had success with:
	... /s /copyall /xj /sl /mt:8 /r:0 /w:0 /ndl /nfl /np
but YMMV

It is elevated, AFAICT. That's the "....,544(Administrators),..." in the 
id command output. BTW, Robocopy seems to accept shellish syntax (saw a 
note in some docs) and have tried both ways.

Note the 'ls' command output. The cyg_server is a very special account.

	Not sure if it is important, but are you on the old machine,
trying to copy local files to the new machine?  Wasn't clear.

	Yeah... I had a similar problem.  Wanted to copy my Win7 cygwin
install to another machine (WinXPx64).  I also had problems with 
permission denied as an admin -- in my case, I think they were common
cygwin DLL's.  I think they were inuse -- and somehow that prevented 
them being copied.   

	In my case, I was aided by having the other machines 'C' drive
network mounted on Z:\.  I was able to copy the couple (3 actually)
of files that failed, manually, to old-machine's /tmp.  There they weren't
files that would be in use && then I could copy them across the net with
anything.  Since both machines had write access to each other's C: drive,
I copied the files from old's /tmp to the bin & lib directories where these
files lived.  Once that was done it started functioning.

	Maybe that will give you some ideas?  I was sorta in the dark as
to what was causing the failure as well, so I poked about... ;-)

try with options
    /ZB :: use restartable mode; if access denied use Backup mode.

Thanks Marco, the -zb option to robocopy did the trick. (Now for the 
next issues...)
