Rsync on windows - dup() in/out/err failed : <p>I am using Vagrant to manage virtual machines for developing purpose. My OS is Windows 10 and I am using Vagrant 1.9.1.  Since default driver for folder syncing is slow i wanted to implement Rsync.</p>

<p>To to that I used Cygwin and installed Rsyn and OpenSSL.</p>

<p>When I run vagrant up inside Cygwin console I got this error:</p>

<pre><code>There was an error when attempting to rsync a synced folder.
Please inspect the error message below for more info.
