Good morning! ----
Does Cygwin have a way to map a (NFS) home dir drive (H:) to /home/myuser/, without resorting to POSIX-style softlinks ([1]) ? Example: 1. Home dir mounted on drive H: via NFS 2. How do I now map H: to /home/myuser/ ? For example Linux and Solaris use the automounter to mount NFS dirs directly to /home/myuser/ , and Solaris uses lofs (loopback filesystem) to mount a local users home dir /export/home/myuser/. Does Cygwin have a similar facility for drives represented by drive letters (e.g. H: [2]) ? [1]=Soft-links should be avoided because they cause confusion/breakage if scripts try to use the physical path (e.g. realpath(1)) [2]=And yes, I am not a Windows guru, and likely use the wrong terms/vocabulary here... ;-(( ---- MfG, Roland Mainz -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.ma...@nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 3992797 (;O/ \/ \O;) -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
