Thank David and Andy, i'm very appreciate for your replies, your answers are so helpful for me. But there is a little issue when i'm using command: "mount -o cygexec -o managed /cygdrive/d/testdir1 /testdir2". I'm not familiar with Win32's path syntax under cygwin, so error stdout of shell always show me: "mount: /testdir: Invalid argument". Can you tell me what is wrong with my syntax? Or can you give me a good example using "-o managed"? Below is my mount stdout: C:\MyDownloads\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) C:\MyDownloads\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) C:\MyDownloads\cygwin on / type system (binmode) c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount) d: on /cygdrive/d type system (binmode,noumount) e: on /cygdrive/e type system (binmode,noumount) f: on /cygdrive/f type system (binmode,noumount) g: on /cygdrive/g type system (binmode,noumount) Actually, i just need to compile linux kernel on x86 arch. So if the case- sensitive problem is solved, can it fix my original problem? Sorry for my limited knowledge, but i really need this for work. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
