A filesystem under /dev or /proc is not very linux-like. If this is really needed (which I'm not convinced is really true) why don't we just hardwire /cygdrive? The mount option could still allow referencing drives via some other path but /cygdrive could still be available. cgf (Who has to go back and reread this thread to see why this suggestion has been raised for the 57th time) -- 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/
