As expected, not working. At least, not in the way I (and OP) want it. There must be either less strict check against -t cygdrive "mount point", or a completely separate means to define cygdrive prefix, since it's not actually a mount point. (The mount points will be <prefix><drive letter>) [C:\Programs\CygWin\etc]$cat /etc/fstab && mount # For a description of the file format, see the Users Guide # http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table # This is default anyway: # none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0 none / cygdrive binary,posix=0,user,noacl 0 0 C:/Programs/CygWin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/Programs/CygWin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/Programs/CygWin on / type ntfs (binary,auto) C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,noacl,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) R: on /cygdrive/r type iso9660 (binary,noacl,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@freemail.ru) 24.08.2010, <22:19> Sorry for my terrible english... -- 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
