The command `mount --help' might have helped in this instance.

mount -b --change-cygdrive-prefix /cygdrive


Cheers,
Earnie.

btw,  i think this should go to the FAQ. I've stumbled over this issue
myself some time ago :) Since i all my explicit mounts are binary, and
CYGWIN=binmode,  i've got a nice surprise when i added new disk (which
mounts  as  /cygdrive/h)  and immediately got all those nice text-mode
features. it take me to look at the sources to find out what happened.

I'm always thrilled when people inspect the sources but this is fairly
well documented in the Cygwin user's guide.

I'll see about getting it in the FAQ, though.

Is there any way to determine the current status of the
cygdrive-prefix?  I don't see anything in the normal mount output (not
that I would expect to), but there does not appear to be any way to
check this, short of checking the registry.

Thanks.

There is no way to check this via the mount command currently, no.
The only method is the registry.

Instead of going into the registry, you could try:

cygpath -u c:

which should give you /cygdrive-prefix/c

I'm probably missing something (I'm still a newbie at cygwin).

That won't tell you if /cygdrive defaults to text or binary, though.

Re: text / binary mounts (sorry)

[Jason Tishler]

Since we are discussing the mount command...

Both,

    mount --help

and

    http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#MOUNT

indicate that the '--change-cygdrive-prefix' option can be used with
the '-s' option.  I assume that this would change the drive prefix on
a system-wide instead of just a user-wide basis.

Unfortunately, when I try

    mount -b -s --change-cygdrive-prefix /mnt

and look in the registry.  I see that

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2

changes and that

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2

remains unchanged.

Is this a documentation or programming bug?

Thanks,
Jason

Dunno.  How about checking out the sources and finding out?
