Hello - After a recent Windows Update (and reboot) the following fstab entry we used directly from the Cygwin documentation (https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html) is no longer working. After digging a little deeper, it appears to be attempting to mount /tmp to a directory that doesn't exist on my local filesystem.
I can of course create the directory in my temp folder, but that would defeat the purpose in our multi-user environment. Since we're in a multi-user environment, our intention is for each user to seamlessly mount /tmp to their own temporary folder to prevent permissions issues. I also updated the Cygwin binaries for good measure, and the issue still persists. Examples of my fstab and output from "mount" are in-line below. Note that the directory "/3" does not exist in my local temp folder - "C:/Users/Jeff/AppData/Local/Temp" does not exist in my local temp folder: $ cat fstab # /etc/fstab # # This file is read once by the first process in a Cygwin process tree. # To pick up changes, restart all Cygwin processes.
