Hello,
I installed cwRsync today. Unfortunately an Error/Warning occured during the
first tests and I was asked to report this to you.
Regards Knut Franzke
1st test:
c:\Users\49175>test_cwrsync
1 [main] rsync 13104 find_fast_cwd: WARNING: Couldn't compute FAST_CWD
pointer. Please report this problem to
the public mailing list cygwin@cygwin.com <mailto:cygwin@cygwin.com>

It would be ideal if this auto-reply didn't include the Cygwin
mailing list; there is no need for the mailing list to read this.
Scratch that; it would be ideal if neither the original question
nor the auto-reply were re-mailed.

What if Cygwin is up to date and you see that message?
It is a compatibility issue due to a speedup hack that could recur in newer
Windows versions.

Right.
In that case, the message from newer Cygwin will not be accompanied
by a recommendation to post to the mailing list. Instead it points
to some online resources about the problem.
Those resources could loudly warn the user that mailing list messages
containing references to the FAST_CWD will receive a robot reply
and not get posted (for he reason that old releases of Cygwin
encouraged users to post reports of it, which keeps happening).

winsup/cygwin/path.cc:
Cygwin WARNING:
Couldn't compute FAST_CWD pointer. This typically occurs if you're using
an older Cygwin version on a newer Windows. Please update to the latest
available Cygwin version from https://cygwin.com/. If the problem persists
please see https://cygwin.com/problems.html
> Those resources could loudly warn the user that mailing list messages
> containing references to the FAST_CWD will receive a robot reply

Newer Windows releases are likely to eventually re-trigger the problem.
The reporter may not be a Cygwin developer who could submit patches, or
sufficiently bothered, or knowledgeable enough, to find the site, follow the
problem reporting guidelines, and generate or attach a cygcheck log.
In either case of old or new messages, if users need more help understanding the
messages, they should still be able to follow up to the mailing list.
Please feel free to compose a suitable update to the above FAQ entry and path.cc
messages, and submit patches, suggesting the changes as preconditions required
to enable the milter to suppress the post and reply. SHTDI
