MSYS2-packages: tools get so slow outside MSYS2 shell
Hi,
I am sorry if this is not the proper place for this question.
The tools (like cp
, mv
, cat
, etc.) work smoothly under the MSYS2 shell, but when I try to launch them under Windows cmd, they will take too long to response. For example, open Windows cmd console and cd to %MSYS2_ROOT%\usr\bin, input mv
and hit enter, it takes almost 10 seconds to output the help info of mv…
I am new to MSYS2 and it is really great, I just want to use it everywhere, not only under MSYS2 shell, is it possible? Or, is there any workaround to achieve this?
Thanks, Kelvin

Yeah, after disable
db
innsswitch.conf
, those commands work great also in Windows cmd! Also, there is a great article describes this problem and gives a solution: http://bjg.io/guide/cygwin-ad/.Thanks for all of you, closing the long live issue now.
@lanzkron /etc/nsswitch.conf under MSYS2 installation folder.
@lanzkron It is in “etc” folder in your installation.
