Hi,
after doing an update a few minutes ago, some files in /etc are gone.
When I start the cygwin shell, I see this:
Huh? No /etc/fstab file? Using default root and cygdrive prefix...
bash: /usr/bin/tr: No such file or directory
bash: /usr/bin/sed: No such file or directory
Your group is currently "mkpasswd". This indicates that
the /etc/passwd (and possibly /etc/group) files should be rebuilt.
See the man pages for mkpasswd and mkgroup then, for example, run
mkpasswd -l [-d] > /etc/passwd
mkgroup -l [-d] > /etc/group
Note that the -d switch is necessary for domain users.
bash login...
10:32:34 ~$
10:56:28 ~$ ls -l /usr/bin
total 0
10:56:33 ~$ ls -ld /usr/bin
drwxrwx---+ 1 RKlemme Users 0 Jul 10 2007 /usr/bin/
10:56:42 ~$ mount
C:\cygwin on / type ntfs (binmode,system)
c: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binmode,noumount,user)
i: on /cygdrive/i type ntfs (binmode,noumount,user)
n: on /cygdrive/n type ntfs (binmode,noumount,user)

y: on /cygdrive/y type ntfs (binmode,noumount,user)
z: on /cygdrive/z type ntfs (binmode,noumount,user)

I was able to fix it with this /etc/fstab
c:/cygwin / system binary 0 0
c:/cygwin/bin /usr/bin system binary 0 0
c:/cygwin/lib /usr/lib system binary 0 0
But I am not sure whether this is the proper solution. Any hints?
Kind regards
robert
