Earnie, I don't understand. I have done this (many times) using the forward slash. I believe the documentation also says you can do it this way (however, I have not verified this yet). The following is copied from a bash session in a DOS box window: [ramjr]$ mount Device Directory Type Flags c:\usr\bob /home/bob user binmode C:\Cygwin / system binmode [ramjr]$ mkdir -p /drv/d [ramjr]$ mount -b d:/ /drv/d [ramjr]$ mount Device Directory Type Flags c:\usr\bob /home/bob user binmode C:\Cygwin / system binmode d: /drv/d user binmode [ramjr]$ ls /drv/d RECYCLED [ramjr]$ ls //d RECYCLED [ramjr]$ I was curious about the "mount" output listing just "d:" for the Device column, so I unmounted it and did the following: [ramjr]$ ls //d RECYCLED [ramjr]$ mkdir //d/tst [ramjr]$ ls //d RECYCLED tst [ramjr]$ mount -b d:/tst /drv/d [ramjr]$ mount Device Directory Type Flags c:\usr\bob /home/bob user binmode C:\Cygwin / system binmode d:\tst /drv/d user binmode [ramjr]$ ls /drv/d [ramjr]$ touch //d/tst/new [ramjr]$ ls /drv/d new [ramjr]$ The software changes the path in this case, replacing the forward slash with a back slash (UNIX -> DOS format). Perhaps the problem relates to the first example, where the DOS Device name does not contain a backslash? > ===== > Earnie Boyd <mailto:earnie_boyd AT yahoo DOT com> > Cygwin Newbies, please visit > <http://www.freeyellow.com/members5/gw32/index.html> > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Thousands of Stores.
