Cygwin's "mount" is very different > from the Linux "mount" -- you really should read the "mount" manpage. Well, I only need a solution for my special case *now*, so it's okay for me if mounts are going to be stored anywhere else in the future. My problem is: I've set "Default Text File Format" to "Unix" during setup. Now I just want to change my Cygwin installation as if I had specified "DOS" instead. > The flags on the auto-mounted drives can be changed by setting them in > conjunction with the --change-cygdrive-prefix (-c) mount flag. So, to > make them binary, just say > > mount -sbc /cygdrive Thanks. I've changed all my mounts to "textmode". What I don't get: If I now create a file using VIM and look at it afterwards using "od -c", it still contains \n instead of \r\n line ends.
