Dear Cygwiners --

For convenience, I would like to mount my OneDrive folder under / cygdrive/o.

I put this line in my /etc/fstab:

c:/Users/Eliot\040Moss/OneDrive /cygdrive/o ntfs binary,noacl,posix=0,user 0 0

However, /cygdrive/o is not created.  Manually doing this:

   mount -obinary,noacl,posix=0,user "/c/Users/Eliot Moss/OneDrive" /foo

results in this output if /foo does not exist:

mount: warning - /foo does not exist.
mount: /foo: Invalid argument

Just tested this, I get the warning and /foo is created anyway and the directory is mounted there.

I do not get the second line (invalid agument).

Check if mount did its job.

I'm using ...

$ mount -V
mount (cygwin) 3.5.4
Mount filesystem utility

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-10.0-22631 XPS-8930 3.5.4-1.x86_64 2024-08-25 16:52 UTC x86_64 Cygwin


and this output if I do mkdir /foo first:

mount: /foo: Invalid argument

Using \040 instead of the space for the quoted command line argument
gives the same behavior.

Hints on how to make this mount work?

Best wishes - Eliot Moss
