No, as is my wont, I'll ask a question on the same topic after answering one :-) Is there a way to mount a drive as BOTH a binary AND a text mount? In particular, I was trying to do this yesterday, mounting c:/ as / in text mode and as /binc in binary mode. However, bash started to complain about reading my .bashrc (which is in /) and my PS1 ("\W >") behaved very strangely, I'd get the prompt correctly, but anything I typed would type over the prompt, when a command completed, I had to hit enter again to see a prompt. None of this happens if I get rid of the binary mount. Thanks! -Peter Peter A.
