This is fine. > that's exactly why: your mounts are in text mode. you should try to mount the filesystem in binmode if you want total control over 0a line ending or 0d0a line ending. text mode always mingles with line separators, whereas binmode leave everything as is. text editors like emacs and vim are capable of distinguishing line ending modes and output files of either line separator format. liulk -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
