I'd been considering that but haven't had the time yet.
Anyways:
$ touch aux.x
touch: setting times of `aux.x': Invalid argument
$ mount
...
c:\foo on /foo type system (binmode,managed)
...
$ pwd
/foo
Strace of touch is available here:
da43f49aca1b4d825cd3c65d1539d9ed *touch.strace
http://blytkerchan.chez.tiscali.fr/touch.strace
The managed-ness of the mount doesn't seem to be kicking in..
324 1766 225955 [main] touch 1344 fhandler_base::open: 0x214 = CreateFile
324 (c:\foo\aux.x, 0x40000000, 0x7, 0x22F9E0, 0x4, 0x2000080, 0)
Oddness is gaping at me: mount clearly reports the mount as managed, but Cygwin
seems to happily ignore its new feature..
HTH
