I installed beta-18. I wish to mount d: / since my NT partition is there, and I installed beta-18 there. I have read the readme.txt, which refers me to faq.txt. I have read the faq.txt, which says: >Where did my mount points go? >============================= > > Earlier releases stored mount points in the registry under "Cygnus >Support". This changed to "Cygnus Solutions" starting with beta 18. >Either use a registry editor (regedit under NT) to rename the old entry >or just redo your mount points and the cygwin.dll will automatically >create the new one for you. So I tried to redo my mount points. I typed 'mount --reset', which produced no errors. I typed 'mount d: /', and I got the message mount failed: Device or resource busy I thrashed around a bit, without being able to mount d: as / When I type mount, I get what I assume the defaults are, which are: Device Directory Type Flags \\.\tape1: /dev/st1 native no-mixed,text!=binary \\.\tape0: /dev/st0 native no-mixed,text!=binary \\.\b: /dev/fd1 native no-mixed,text!=binary \\.\a: /dev/fd0 native no-mixed,text!=binary c: / native no-mixed,text!=binary I would prefer not using the registry editor if possible to fix this. Any ideas? Jeff Deifik jdeifik AT weasel DOT com - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
