It does not seem to change the behaviour of 'find' or 'man', at least: it still does not work the way it should. Thanks for your help, though. An interesting point: if the place holder and the mount point would reside on the same partition, the attempt to create the place holder dir, results in an error 'file exists'. If they are on different partitions, this error does not occur --- and the mount is not fully functional (as stated). Either, beyond the mount point subdirs the mounted subtree should always be seen (don't know whether this is possible with Windo$), or they should be kept solely virtual, and so to be seen by cygwin-apps, only. The current "solution" is a bug. It seems like, at least for win95, the cygwin directory must be placed on a partition d:, mounted as root, and everthing else should be build logically and physically below this root, at least on the same partition, or you run into several oddities.
