One could use a windows tool to get the volume. Here is a possible start. /c> echo ' n' | cmd /c label h: Volume in drive H: is CIFS.HOMEDIR Volume label (ENTER for none)? Delete current volume label (Y/N)? n /c> Good luck. - Barry Disclaimer: Statements made herein are not made on behalf of NIAID. -- 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
