Perhaps it was overlooked in all the P.D. hoopla. To add to what I posted before, the first command below shows the appropriate contents of /usr/lib; the second shows what Windows Explorer sees in D:\cygwin-v11x\usr\lib. The same behavior holds for the other mounted dirs, except for /d/cygwin-v11x/. This looks like a bug. Is this expected behavior? If different behaviors were to be expected, I'd think the different results would be the inverse. ;-) Regards, Doug Wyatt Examples: 55# ls -la d:/cygwin-v11x/usr/lib | head total 68583 drwxr-xr-x 23 544 None 36864 Jul 31 08:47 . drwxrwxr-x 22 User None 4096 Jul 31 08:46 .. drwxr-xr-x 5 544 None 0 May 3 12:50 X11 drwxr-xr-x 3 544 None 0 Jun 20 06:07 apache -rwxr-xr-x 1 544 None 478 Jul 6 01:19 automode.o -rwxr-xr-x 1 544 None 375 Jul 6 01:19 binmode.o -rwxr-xr-x 1 544 None 193 Jun 24 00:17 charset.alias -rwxr-xr-x 1 544 None 499 Jul 6 01:19 crt0.o drwxr-xr-x 3 544 None 0 Nov 5 2000 cvs 56# ls -la /d/cygwin-v11x/usr/lib | head total 4 drwxr-xr-x 3 544 None 0 Sep 3 2000 . drwxrwxr-x 22 User None 4096 Jul 31 08:46 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 544 None 0 Sep 3 2000 test ( Visible in Windows Explorer, but not in a full listing like the 'ls' on line 55, because /lib is mounted 'over' it ) 57# mount D:\cygwin-v11x\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts type system (binmode) D:\cygwin-v11x\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) D:\cygwin-v11x\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) D:\cygwin-v11x on / type system (binmode) c: on /c type system (textmode) d: on /d type system (textmode) e: on /e type system (textmode) f: on /f type system (textmode) j: on /j type system (binmode) k: on /k type system (textmode) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
