Thank you! This might be a case of "I want it that way"
Basically the user is not happy to see "/c/export/home" when he does a pwd..... The old mount command eliminated the "/c" Thanks! -----Original Message----- From: cygwin-ow...@cygwin.com [mailto:cygwin-ow...@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of Jeremy Bopp Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2010 1:08 PM To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Re: 1.7.1: Replacement for mount -f -u -b c: / On 5/5/2010 2:57 PM, Mathew Shember wrote: > In the previous release, some of our engineers would change: > > /cygwin/c/export/home/ > > To > > /export/home > > To eliminate the "/c" they would use > > Mount -f -u -b c: / > > This no longer works and I haven't figured out a work around. > > Tried playing with fstab with no luck. A symlink should work: $ ln -s /cygwin/c/export /export A mount will also work: $ mkdir /export # To silence mount warnings... $ mount C:/export /export If what you really want is to dynamically map the entire contents of C: into the Cygwin root directory, I don't have any suggestions. People have been known to install Cygwin directly to C:\ before, and that would basically get you the mapping for free, but doing so is frowned upon here. -Jeremy -- 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 -- 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
