Here is the mount output: a: /a some_fs binary 0 0 /bin /bin some_fs binary 0 0 C: /c some_fs binary 0 0 D: /d some_fs binary 0 0 E: /e some_fs binary 0 0 /etc /etc some_fs binary 0 0 F: /f some_fs binary 0 0 G: /g some_fs binary 0 0 H: /h some_fs binary 0 0 I: /i some_fs binary 0 0 J: /j some_fs binary 0 0 K: /k some_fs binary 0 0 /lib /lib some_fs binary 0 0 M: /m some_fs binary 0 0 \\linda\c /pc some_fs binary 0 0 N: /n some_fs binary 0 0 O: /o some_fs binary 0 0 P: /p some_fs binary 0 0 Q: /q some_fs binary 0 0 /usr /usr some_fs binary 0 0 # This is default anyway: # none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0 Whenever I try to umount it, I get the error message: .$ umount /pc umount: /pc: Operation not permitted It HAS BEEN removed (sometimes) from the mount command but I can still do a 'cd' to /pc and see my wife's root drive. How can I make this hard-ass /pc filesystem completely be umounted. I wana stay on my wife's good side. A few months ago I did some serious damage in which I had to do a complete backup restore to get out of trouble. Is the "Operation not permitted" normal. The /pc never goes away and it always comes up mounted after a reboot. Even if the /pc is not shown by /etc/fstab, it still showup in a "find" operation. - paul -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
