Yes. Take a look at "mount --help". The first argument is a win32 path -- that is the whole point of mount table entries, to map a win32 path to a POSIX path. And you should not be using /cygdrive like that. Assuming that c:/cygwin is mounted as /, then you probably want something like mount c:/cygwin/rakesh /usr/cygnus Brian -- 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/
