bash create UNIX format under cygwin root, not for other directory?

bash create UNIX format under cygwin root, not for other directory?

[lau bella]

Hi all,

I installed cygwin 1.3.10 in w2k c:\cygwin. I set
CYGWIN=binmode tty mode, mount:

c:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
c:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
c:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode)

I create home directory in c:\cygwin\home and run
"bash " script (echo somethings to output file), the
output file is in UNIX format correctly.

I create another home directory in c:\data\home and
run the same "bash" script, the output file is in DOS
format.

From previous post, i think the output file should be
in UNIX format if the mount point are in binmode. 

I would like know whether "bash" generates output file
in UNIX format under cygwin root only.

thanks a lot :)

bella

Yes, but c:\data\home isn't mounted as your mount table shows.

One can say so.  If you mount the path to be under cygwinroot
(and it needs to be in binmode), then the files written there
are in binmode too.
