The default mounts seem to be encoded in the Windows registry, as there is not fstab. It also seems I need to change the flags in a key named "cygdrive flags" if I want to change the mount mode of auto-mounted drives. Is that correct? Is there an explanation of the flags somewhere (well, without having to checkout all the source code and search for it ...). -- Sebastian Schuberth -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
