Fork Failures

Fork Failures

[Anne Linden]

Hi,

My machine started having fork failures, so I found the documentation
on fork failures and am trying to fix it.  However the rebaseall -v
command will not run.  I only ever get back the response "only ash or
dash processes are allowed during rebasing Exit all Cygwin processes
and stop all Cygwin services"

However when I run ps -a it only lists the bash process and the ps
process, so I'm very confused as how to fix this. I've restarted the
computer, but get the same results.

I am running bash.exe as an admin for all of this, FYI

Thanks,
Anne

Bash is a Cygwin process.  You need to stop *all* Cygwin processes.
Run Windows task manager if you have to and kill all Cygwin processes.
[OR reboot is often necessary for me.]
Then run cmd and cd into c:/Cygwin, then cd into bin to run ash.
At the ash prompt run /usr/bin/rebaseall -v.

Bash is not ash or dash.  The error message is specific enough for you to have figured this out on your own.

From a Windows CMD Console open the ash.exe program then execute the command.

Yes, you need to run this from a CMD window where you started dash.
Besides, you really don't need to do this anymore, just run

$ rebase-trigger fullrebase

in a Cygwin shell, then shut down all Cygwin processes still running and
run setup.exe again.
