Okay, I'll do that, thanks. I don't understand what you mean about
doing everything but the one thing that would prove that the warning
message is correct. Do you mean mount itself? If I actually try that,
it seems to confirm that the message is *incorrect*:
bash-2.05b$ mount
c:\temp\mnt\tmp on /tmp type system (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (textmode,noumount)
l: on /cygdrive/l type user (textmode,noumount)
m: on /cygdrive/m type user (textmode,noumount)
u: on /cygdrive/u type user (textmode,noumount)
x: on /cygdrive/x type user (textmode,noumount)
bash-2.05b$ umount /tmp
bash-2.05b$ mount
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (textmode,noumount)
l: on /cygdrive/l type user (textmode,noumount)
m: on /cygdrive/m type user (textmode,noumount)
u: on /cygdrive/u type user (textmode,noumount)
x: on /cygdrive/x type user (textmode,noumount)
bash-2.05b$ mount c:/temp/mnt/tmp /tmp
mount: warning - /tmp does not exist.
bash-2.05b$ mount
c:\temp\mnt\tmp on /tmp type system (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (textmode,noumount)
l: on /cygdrive/l type user (textmode,noumount)
m: on /cygdrive/m type user (textmode,noumount)
u: on /cygdrive/u type user (textmode,noumount)
x: on /cygdrive/x type user (textmode,noumount)
bash-2.05b$ ls /tmp
a b
bash-2.05b$ echo c > /tmp/c
bash-2.05b$ cat /tmp/c
c
bash-2.05b$ ls c:/temp/mnt/tmp
a b c
Maybe I still misunderstand. In what sense does /tmp not exist?
