Don't exactly know what your talking about, Richard. What do you mean
by "it does not work"? I have partial drives mounted all over the place
and have never had a problem that I can relate to mounts.
I too have noticed that patch (2.1) does not create output files for
me. (This is with WinNT 3.51, cygwin32 b17.0.) I normally have c:/
mounted as / and d:/tmp mounted as /tmp. I tried unmounting d:/tmp and
creating a c:/tmp, but the results were the same (no output).
