Hi All

If I use a standard install with the cygdrive prefix as /cygdrive, the
drive letters appear in a directory listing:

$ ls /cygdrive
c d w

But if I change cygdrive to /, they don't:

$ mount -c /
$ ls /
Cygwin.bat   bin        dev   home   opt    sbin   usr
Cygwin.ico   cygdrive   etc   lib    proc   tmp    var
[ends]

But of course, they are there:

$ ls /c
$Recycle.Bin          PerfLogs
[...]

That's as Administrator.  Adding the -s flag to mount doesn't help,
neither does a reboot.

Is there any way to make /c, etc. appear in the listing?

I'm running on Windows Server 2008 64-bit with Cygwin DLL 1.5.25-19.

cygcheck on request.

Thanks

Mike
