In looking the documentations for mount, I can not find the necessary info to create a persistance system mount. Anything I mount get taged as a "user" mount. What's the secret. I use the "-s" options, it gets flagged as invalid arg. I tried: mount -f -s R: /r DOESN'T WORK mount -f -o -s R: /r DOESN'T WORK mount -f -o --system R: /r SAME mount -f --system R: /r SAME mount -f R: /r WORKS, except as "user" The documentation does not help much (man pages & web page). Can someone tell me how to mount a FS as "system"? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
