I have one real (c:) and three virtual (d:, e:, f:) partitions on my
Windows 10 box
The virtual partitions are created at login by Windows tasks using the
'subst' command.
With an empty /etc/fstab, at first this all appears to work fine:
> mount
C:/C64/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/C64/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/C64 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)
E: on /cygdrive/e type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
F: on /cygdrive/f type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
> mount -m
none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0
> ls /cygdrive
c/ d/ e/ f/
> ls /cygdrive/f | wc -l
31
But if I come in to this machine via ssh (public key or password), the
virtual partitions are lost:
> mount
C:/C64/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/C64/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/C64 on / type ntfs (binary,auto)
C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
> ls /cygdrive
c/
The problem seems to arise because the subst commands aren't being run:
> cmd /c subst
[nothing]
although they are Triggered by "At log on of [me]". Checking the Task
Scheduler indeed shows them run at my original Windows login, but not
when I ssh in...
It appears that ssh login is not a Windows login -- what am I missing?
