I am creating a cygdrive entry in my fstab and it is being accepted, it just doesn't seem to honor the text attribute. I guess I was assuming that since you're essentially conflating / with cygdrive you might have to either mount / as text and override it or use the override option for the cygdrive entry too but, on reflection, that shouldn't be the case. You're combining my two of my least favorite things: text mode and overriding /cygdrive with / but I'll take a look nonetheless. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
