I have an active standby systems in office running opendental.
I run cygwin rsync over ssh to sync Opendental related files (c:\mysql and OpendentImages folders) between the active and standby machine. I make sure that i stop mysql before doing any copying.
When i use cygwin rsync, i can't seem to be successful opening the opendental application. It tells me that ./opendental/preference.frm is missing (error 13). I do see the file in opendental folder but it still give me this error.
If i map the active machine on the standby machine and copy over the files using windows explorer, every thing works.
How can i trouble shoot what the problem is? I found on the internet that this problem might be specific to sql 5.0, is it so?
Any help in this aspect is appreciated

No
Justin is with Onsite Dental Systems (http://www.onsitedentalsystems.com/index-2.htm), here in Texas.
He's also a member on this forum (his username is Justin Shafer), so best bet is to send him a PM via the Members section (above upper right).
