To: "cygwin AT cygwin DOT com" Message-id: <0I8S00AE208UJM@pmismtp02.mcilink.com> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit X-IsSubscribed: yes In general, does it make sense to mount c:/cygwin as / in managed mode? Is there some reason this would not be a good idea? I have done this, and when I do, some files "disappear", such as /home/Mark.Paulus, which is my home. If I have a regular mount (c:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)), I have the following files in /home: Mark DOT Paulus AT WS117V6220509 /home $ ll total 0 drwx------+ 3 Mark.Pau None 0 Dec 15 10:38 ./ drwx------+ 12 Mark.Pau None 0 Dec 15 09:51 ../ lrwxrwxrwx 1 Mark.Pau None 18 Dec 15 10:38 Administrator -> /home/Mark.Paulus/ drwx------+ 13 Mark.Pau None 0 Dec 15 10:41 Mark.Paulus/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 Mark.Pau None 18 Dec 15 10:38 root -> /home/Mark.Paulus/ when I remount c:/cygwin as a managed mount (c:\cygwin on / type system (binmode,managed)), I have the following in /home: Mark DOT Paulus AT WS117V6220509 /home $ ll ls: Administrator: No such file or directory ls: Mark.Paulus: No such file or directory total 0 drwx------+ 3 Mark.Pau None 0 Dec 15 11:16 ./ drwx------+ 12 Mark.Pau None 0 Dec 15 09:51 ../ lrwxrwxrwx 1 Mark.Pau None 17 Dec 15 11:16 root -> /home/Mark.Paulus ll is: alias ll='ls -alF --color' So, where did /home/Mark.Paulus go, or who covered it up?
