David,
This is very puzzling. Your mounts are present in the registry, but
for some reason the Cygwin DLL can't see them. Does your registry have
any special permissions? Could you please post the results of
cd /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin
./ls "/proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Cygnus Solutions/Cygwin/mounts v2"
./regtool list "/HKLM/SOFTWARE/Cygnus Solutions/Cygwin/mounts v2"
as run from a bash shell? Also, could you please run
.\strace -o ls_etc.strace ./ls /etc
from your c:\cygwin\bin directory, and e-mail me ls_etc.strace privately?
I'd like to see if the strace shows anything. If it does, I'll post a
summary to the list.
FWIW, your user mounts seem to be visible, so *after you do the above*, as
a short-term workaround, you can try this:
mount -f -u -b "c:/cygwin" "/"
mount -f -u -b "c:/cygwin/bin" "/usr/bin"
mount -f -u -b "c:/cygwin/lib" "/usr/lib"
but be aware that this will give you a limited-use Cygwin (e.g., Cygwin
services, like sshd, still won't work).
HTH,
Igor
