I think the required line in /etc/fstab is none / cygdrive user,posix=0 0 0 but actually (here, ages ago, shortly after 1.7 was first presented) I deleted /etc/fstab entirely*.

Not that I am recommending this approach (I'm not in any position to recommend anything) -- but it works fine for me and has permanently removed a nagging worry (as in "What Is This and Why Does It Seem To Matter So Much?")
Fergus, since you have a process that works for you, my response is not so much directed at you as to anyone else that might find this thread in the archives. If anyone has a similar question about '/etc/fstab' and its purpose, please see the Cygwin User's Guide section on it: <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table> -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- 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
