This might be a case of "I want it that way" Basically the user is not happy to see "/c/export/home" when he does a pwd.= ....

A symlink should work: $ ln -s /cygwin/c/export /export A mount will also work: $ mkdir /export # To silence mount warnings... $ mount C:/export /export If what you really want is to dynamically map the entire contents of C: into the Cygwin root directory, I don't have any suggestions. People have been known to install Cygwin directly to C:\ before, and that would basically get you the mapping for free, but doing so is frowned upon here. -Jeremy -- 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 -- 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
