Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Well, sorry to post another naive question, but here is a sequence of reproducible commands that lead to something very obscure to me : mounting D: (the disk where cygwin and my root is located) seems to invalid some internal behaviours (well, let's say some illogical things appear :) Here it is. I just installed B20.1, > GNUWIN32=d:/devel/gnuwin32; export GNUWIN32 > CYGROOT=${GNUWIN32}/cygwin-b20; export CYGROOT - create some directories for a kind of filesystem > cd ${GNUWIN32} > mkdir root > cd root > mkdir tmp etc d - mount > umount / > mount ${GNUWIN32}/root / > mount D:/temp /tmp > mount ${CYGROOT}/etc /etc No pb until now, for example, let's have a look at /etc (two times) : > cd / > ls d/ etc/ tmp/ > ls etc termcap > ls /etc termcap Now here is the funny part : > mount D: /d > ls etc > ls d !! nothing !! > ls /etc termcap > cd /etc > ls termcap !! now here they are, '/etc' works, 'etc' does not !! > cd .. > ls d > ls /d autoexec.bat config.sys ... etc. Could anyone explain me why mounting D: ou D:/ ou d:/ to /d produce these artefacts ? Doing the same thing with C: ou E: will NOT cause any problem. Is it impossible to mount the drive where cygwin is located ? Installing coolview did not help too. As well as binary mount.
