From: chiuk AT cs DOT indiana DOT edu (Kenneth Chiu) Subject: Mounts and relative pathnames 9 Mar 1998 18:33:03 -0800 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com I seem to have a problem with 'ls' and relative pathnames. I have searched the FAQ and the mailing list archives, but haven't found anything. Suppose I do the following sequence: mount N:/root / mount N:/dir1 /usr cd / ls usr I would expect to see the contents of N:/dir1, but instead I see nothing. If I type 'ls /usr', I see what I expect, so I think I'm executing the correct 'ls'. If I type 'cd usr', and then 'ls', I also see what I expect. Here is what my mount table actually looks like: Device Directory Type Flags N:\Cygnus\B19\H-i386-cygwin32 /usr native text!=binary N:\tmp /tmp native text!=binary \\.\tape1: /dev/st1 native text!=binary \\.\tape0: /dev/st0 native text!=binary \\.\b: /dev/fd1 native text!=binary \\.\a: /dev/fd0 native text!=binary N:\root / native text!=binary - 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".
