For example I mount C: on /c And the above returns: $ dirname $(cygpath -u c:/) / which doesn't tell me what the cygdrive prefix is -- only where 'c' is mounted. Of course, as pointed out in a later reply, one can use an unused disk drive letter like 'x' but that is hardly robust since who knows what drive letters will be unused and/or unmounted. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/1.7--Can-you-have-multipe-cygdrive-path-prefixes-active-at-once-tp26227605p26249511.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
