Sandeep,
$ mount -p
Prefix Type Flags
/ user textmode
$ mount
d:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
d:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
d:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
c: on /c type user (binmode,noumount) <= note: bin mode
$ mount -c /cygdrive
$ mount
d:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
d:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
d:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (textmode,noumount) <= note: now text mode
$ mount -c /
$ mount
d:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
d:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
d:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
c: on /c type user (textmode,noumount) <= note: still text mode
What I do to fix this is to:
1) mount -c /something_different
2) mkdir -p /c
3) mount -b c: /c
4) mount -c /
I don't know what you can do if your drives keep changing dynamically. It
seems to revert to text mounts regardless of the CYGWIN=binmode setting.
