This is odd. When I run "net start inetd", all my old mappings come back,
even if I've previously deleted them!

For example,

c:\4nt>mount
Device              Directory           Type         Flags

[...]

\\.\tape1:          /dev/st1            user         textmode
\\.\a:              /dev/fd0            user         textmode
\\.\b:              /dev/fd1            user         textmode
c:                  /                   user         textmode
c:                  /                   system       textmode

OK. Now delete the user "/" mount:

c:\4nt>umount /
umount: /: No such file or directory

Oops. That didn't work (and I have no idea why). However, there's a way to
do it. Just redo the mount:

c:\4nt>mount -f c: /

c:\4nt>umount /

c:\4nt>mount
Device              Directory           Type         Flags

[...]

\\.\tape1:          /dev/st1            user         textmode
\\.\a:              /dev/fd0            user         textmode
\\.\b:              /dev/fd1            user         textmode
c:                  /                   system       textmode

Yup. the mount has gone.

Now stop and restart inetd:

c:\4nt>net stop inetd
The CYGWIN inetd service is stopping.
The CYGWIN inetd service was stopped successfully.


c:\4nt>net start inetd
The CYGWIN inetd service is starting.
The CYGWIN inetd service was started successfully.

and see what mounts exist:

c:\4nt>mount
Device              Directory           Type         Flags

[...]

\\.\tape1:          /dev/st1            user         textmode
\\.\a:              /dev/fd0            user         textmode
\\.\b:              /dev/fd1            user         textmode
c:                  /                   user         textmode
c:                  /                   system       textmode

It's back again! The same happens for all the user mounts. I have no idea
what's going on!
