Yes, this message (and the one you sent about the time I sent my first reply)
clarify the issue, at least for me. I can reproduce it, though I haven't
looked
into it more. I can say I tried testing 'du' to see if I could see
recursion and,
somewhat surprisingly (to me), I didn't. To me however, if we're looking for
consistency, I would say that the results of both invocations of 'ls' above
should
show the list of drives.
FWIW, I think you'll find Cygwin 1.5 behaves the same if you create a 'cygdrive'
(or whatever your cygdrive prefix is called) directory in your '/'. I may
be wrong
though. I haven't tried this.
