I've seen examples of how to do this...I believe it's called and 'identity' mount. I tried these ways but mount d:\ /d mount d:\ /cygdrive/d and also with different combinations of flags in other attempts like -f -s -b -t -u Every time the usage instructions for mount are displayed and then when I view the mount table, nothing has changed. I Just see /usr/bin /usr/lib and / Strange to me though is the fact that I simply did a cd d: and 'pwd' showed /cygdrive/d I could do this for any of the drives on my computer e: f: g: h: each seen with pwd as /cygdrive/ Why is this? Does it mean that there's no need to perform a mount? Why do I need mount then? I would like be able to just do a cd /d or cd /e from the bash.exe$ prompt. If I want directories to appear under my root / or /usr then I should just use a hard link? I thought mount was to make other drives/devices appear as subdirectories of a mount point. Could it be that all of my drives are on the same hard disk device? They are just separate partitions on the same disk. thanks, /dAVe -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
