Hi All...
=20
With the last 1.7.0 version and with a clean 1.7.1 install on an XP Pro SP3=
 machine,
if I edit my fstab to change my cygdrive prefix and then do a "mount -a", m=
y mounts
as shown by the mount command or catting mtab are not updated. I only tried=
 it with
the cygdrive prefix, not with other mounts.

How soon should we start the "Way back in the Cygwin 1.7.0 days, things wer=
e much..."
musings?

Thanks to all that made 1.7.1 with its new gcc, X11 and more POSIXy world p=
ossible.
What a great Christmas present...great new free software.

Thanks,
