So I tried to redo my mount points.
I typed 'mount --reset', which produced no errors.
I typed 'mount d: /', and I got the message
mount failed: Device or resource busy
I thrashed around a bit, without being able to mount d: as /
I would prefer not using the registry editor if possible to fix this.

What you need is not mount -reset. You need umount:
bash$ umount /
bash$ mount c:\\ /
This will do it. ( In my computer, I mounted the root as following: =
bash$ mount e:\\gnuwin32\\b18 / )
Sincerely,
Wei Ku

Subject: mount woes
I have a computer running windows nt 4.0 server, sp2.
I installed beta-18.
I wish to mount d: / since my NT partition is there, and I
installed beta-18 there.
I have read the readme.txt, which refers me to faq.txt.
I have read the faq.txt, which says:
>Where did my mount points go?
>=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

> Earlier releases stored mount points in the registry under "Cygnus

>Either use a registry editor (regedit under NT) to rename the old entry
>or just redo your mount points and the cygwin.dll will automatically
>create the new one for you.
When I type mount, I get what I assume the defaults are, which are:
Device Directory Type Flags
\\.\tape1: /dev/st1 native no-mixed,text!=3Dbinary
\\.\tape0: /dev/st0 native no-mixed,text!=3Dbinary
\\.\b: /dev/fd1 native no-mixed,text!=3Dbinary
\\.\a: /dev/fd0 native no-mixed,text!=3Dbinary
c: / native no-mixed,text!=3Dbinary
Any ideas?
