Let's see - Google didn't find me anything. The FAQ doesn't seem to help. So I think the hint is telling me to include cygcheck output, which I will now do. http://old.nabble.com/file/p34007924/cygcheck.out cygcheck.out
By the way, the response to the mount command now looks like rw@seven ~ $ mount C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,user) C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,user) C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto) C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) D: on /cygdrive/d type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) rw@seven ~ $ I note that another cygwin installation has (binary,auto) instead of (binary,user) for the two mounts in question. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/-bin-and--lib-mount-points-occasionally-lost-tp34007108p34007924.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
