Hi all, I have a problem with mounting drives into my freshly installed Cygwin 1.3.22(0.78/3/2) under XP. If I try to execute
mount -f -s -b "c:" "/c" I get a permission denied error. http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg01368.html suggests that this may have something to do with my user rights on the XP machine. I am a domain user with no special rights on that machine. Our policy disallows quite a couple of things which I have not yet figured all out. Among those, I cannot run regedit or regedt32. Still, there must be a way that I can create the mount points in the registry, because setup, running under my account, managed to. FWIW, it did not try to run Administator and didn't ask for a password. I also had to add my domain SID manually. What I do not understand is why setup.exe can change the registry and mount can not. (Why I am not allowed to run regedit but can write and double click a .reg file is another interesting question of my company's policy that I would not ask my IS department :-) At least it gives me the chance to export the relevant keys from NT and import them into the XP box...) I have the output of strace mount -f -z: /z attached. Hmm, on further trying I realized that user mounts work...strange.
