Thanks Corinna,
I just discovered the root cause and it is not related to the snapshot but to
/etc/fstab content.
I am using cygwin on an external hard disk and to avoid every time to
redefine the mount point I was using a fstab like this:
/cygwin2 / some_fs binary 0 0
/cygwin2/bin /usr/bin some_fs binary 0 0
instead of
e:/cygwin2 / some_fs binary 0 0
e:/cygwin2/bin /usr/bin some_fs binary 0 0
in the first case cygwin works, without problem whatever is the disk letter,
but cygcheck doesn't succeed to locate the mount points
$ cycheck mount
bash: cycheck: command not found
$ which mount
/usr/bin/mount
$ cygcheck /usr/bin/mount
\cygwin2\bin\mount.exe
E:\cygwin2\bin\cygwin1.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Secur32.dll
in the second case, as expected
$ cygcheck mount
Found: E:\cygwin2\bin\mount.exe
E:\cygwin2\bin\mount.exe
E:\cygwin2\bin\cygwin1.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Secur32.dll
Regards
Marco
