I am in the Administrators group, but running Windows 7 so I can only access the drive if I am running with elevated privileges. If I run Cygwin without elevated privileges and type ls -l /backup, Cygwin shows the following: $ ls -l /backup -rw-r--r-- 1 Chris None 0 2006-12-01 00:00 /backup i.e. Cygwin incorrectly reports the mount point is a regular file and not a directory. $ mount C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto) I: on /backup type unknown (binary,noacl) C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-6.1 bonsai 1.7.0(0.218/5/3) 2009-12-04 17:08 i686 Cygwin Chris -- http://www.atomice.com -- 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
