A directory must exist prior to the mount point if you want readdir() to see it (used by ls, find, ...). Yes, you can use mount -f to circumvent the requirement that the directory already exist, but then you can no longer search the parent directory for the mount point. -- Eric Blake -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
