Sharing my experiences - i.e. "for the archives"

$ updatedb
/usr/bin/find: /: No such file or directory

Most other things worked...


This was caused by:

$ echo $CYGWIN
notitle glob check_case:strict server=1

$ mount | grep 'on / '
C:\Program\Cygwin on / type system (binmode)

$ cd /
$ CMD.EXE
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

C:\Program\Cygwin>dir ..\cyg*.*
<blahblah>
xxxx-xx-xx  xx:xx       <DIR>          cygwin


i.e: Cygwin is set for case SENSITIVE operation and the install dir
name NOT matching the / mount entry.


This has bitten me once before; it reappeared due to my fiddling with
the mountpoints at login and logout
(I'm using the same cygwin installation from multiple OS'es/machines).
