From: earnie_boyd AT yahoo DOT com (Earnie Boyd) Subject: Re: mount/umount from commandline... 15 May 1998 20:27:41 -0700 Message-ID: <19980514120955.29459.rocketmail.cygnus.gnu-win32@send1b.yahoomail.com> Reply-To: earnie_boyd AT yahoo DOT com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii To: "Robertson, Jason V" , gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com I don't think it can be done from DOS. You could use REGEDIT or bash bash$ cd /cygnus/b19/H-i386-cygwin32/bin bash$ ./umount / bash$ ./mount -b //C/root / Note: Do nothing else between umount and mount. The reason it won't work at the DOS prompt is that when the cygwinb19.dll initializes part of the initialization will add the c:\ as / to the registry. This is also the reason why you can't do anything else between unmount and mount. Using mount from DOS for other directories would be no problem.
