Re: [MooseFS-Users] Chunkserver on Win 7

[Nathan M. <nat...@gm...>]

After some testing it seems that if I create a batch script and call it 
through bash

      C:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe /bin/bash -l -c /usr/sbin/mfschunkserver

then it seems to work fine without the 100% CPU utilization.  So this is 
ultimately probably not a MooseFS issue.  Sorry for the false alarm, and 
I hope this helps someone else who might have the same issue, (if anyone 
else is trying to run MFS processes on Windows that is).
