I'm not sure that I'm doing this the right way. I created an entry in /etc/fstab and then I got: $ mount C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto) H: on /h type ntfs (binary,noacl,posix=0,user) C: on /c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) Unfortunately, this didn't fix my problem. So then for some reason I don't remember, I commented out the following line from /etc/fstab: none / cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0 This resulted in my being able to create directories and files on the network drive. It came at a cost however because C: was now mounted on /cydrive/c, so I added and explicit entry for the C: drive in /etc/fstab and this appears to have fixed the problem: $ mount C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto) C: on /c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user) H: on /h type ntfs (binary,noacl,posix=0,user) This has the minor problem that it allows me to get into a mess by umounting /c -- 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
