Hi,
In my confused mind ln and mount seem to achieve the same thing.
In my case I want to have an easy to type path(s) to my old pc
so I typed:-
mount -f -u -b "//dell25/c/" "/o"
but I also successfully tested
ln -s //dell25/c/ /old
In this case, what you are doing is effective to mounting a remote file
system, so "mount" would be traditional (and also your only choice on
most UNIX's, which don't understand UNC paths). However, as you've
noticed, either one works on Cygwin. :-)
Do either test if connection valid?
Valid? No. "mount" checks that the destination exists. That's all.
