I notice that in cygwin there's no FS type for the mount call. This is a problem :[. As I don't know how the mount fs type is set in linux, I'm not going to suggest how we should do it, but what I need for UMSDOS (unless you want it either globally on or off) is to be able to get the correct fhandler_* from a given file path. There's no generic mount based capability in cygwin today (and that will be needed if we ever want a mountable proc file system :]). (the logic is straight forward: find the mount point a file belongs to and lookup the device number from the mount point). Any objections to mount(win32, posix, flags) becoming mount(win32, posix, type, flags) ? if type is NULL, the device number will be the current default of FH_DISK_FILE. Rob
