I've updated "What Cygwin mailing lists can I join?" with a better description. Old language was "If you are going to help develop the Cygwin library by volunteering for the project, you will want to subscribe to the Cygwin developers list, called cygwin-developers." New language is "There is also a low-volume list called cygwin-developers which is reserved for knowledgeable people who regularly contribute to the Cygwin DLL. Please do not ask for read-only access to this mailing list." > >However, it was NTFS-specific and Cygwin went a different > >route (which has path length limitations, but I digress). > > And, Joshua could I get a FAQ entry about this, too? OK, I added some about managed mounts. I've never really used them myself, but this is the example I came up with for the FAQ that seems to work fine: mkdir /managed-dir mount -o managed c:/cygwin/managed-dir /managed-dir cd /managed-dir/ touch makefile touch Makefile Are managed mounts prime-time enough to be put in the --help statement and users guide with caveats? -- 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/
