OK, I tried doing it from explorer, the MS command prompt and bash.
After mounting the partition, the mount point works correctly for things
like -I option in gcc and cygpath. So I believe I have done the correct
thing. It's the
find command that doesn't work. I even get stranger results if I attempt
something like mount D:/topdirectory /home. Find generates the following
output:
find: /home/filename: No such file or directory
for every file in topdirectory.
I have 20.1 installed.
Luckily it does appear I can use cygpath in install script to cope with
these problems.
It converts the paths correctly to win32 format which work with find and
tcl.
I consider this sort of behaviour as a bug. Before I consider filing a bug
report or maybe
trying to fix it, has anyone managed to get find to work across mounted
partitions?

When you said:
mount d:/topdirectory /home
was the operation silent or did mount display some words? If mount
displayed something, what did it say?
I still get the feeling that you are not performing the simple operation
that DJ has asked you to do:
c:\> mkdir c:\home
You don't use the Cygwin mkdir to do this. You use the mkdir that's
builtin to the command shell.

Oops, sorry. mount c:/temp /foo does work.
However, `mount c:\\ /c; mount /c/temp /tmp' does not.

I assume you mean 'mkdir c:\home'
So I have done done the following:
umount /home (hopefully this will clean out the reg)
rm -r /home
Exit from cygwin and start it again
cd /temp
mkdir c:\home
Whoops it created it in c:/temp.
mkdir c:/home
OK that put it in the right place where I had it before
mount D:/ /home
running mount gives the output:
Device Directory Type Flags
D: /home native text!=binary
C: / native text!=binary
and ls -F gives
AUTOEXEC.BAT*
CONFIG.SYS
IO.SYS
MSDOS.SYS
Multimedia Files/
NTDETECT.COM*
Program Files/
RECYCLER/
TEMP/
WINNT/
bin/
boot.ini
cygnus/
home/
ntldr
tmp/
So everything looks correct, as before.
find / -name .bashrc -print
.bashrc is on drive D and it is not found.
Oh well, no magical fix.

Did you create a c:\home directory before you did the mount? Having
that empty directory on the parent drive makes a big difference in how
well some commands work, which is why mount warns you about them.

TCL itself doesn't use cygwin for stuff like that. It goes right to
the Win32 calls, so you have to do conversions all over the place.

This is exactly what I have done:
Activate NT command prompt and then enter the following command 'mkdir
c:\home'.
Start bash shell and enter the command mount. The following output is
displayed:
Device Directory Type Flags
C: / native text!=binary
Now I want to mount drive D: and set the mountpoint as /home. So we follow
the
instructions in the user manual and enter the command 'mount d:\ /home'. The
command fails and some verbage is displayed about how to use mount. OK, so
the examples in the user manual are wrong.
Enter the command 'mount D:/ /home'. The command completes with no verbage
displayed. To check enter the command 'mount'. The following is displayed:
Device Directory Type Flags
D: /home native text!=binary
C: / native text!=binary
OK, so I created the directory home first and then issued the mount. This
is the correct procedure. I can run make files which use the prefix /home
and code is compiled correctly. Listing directories using the prefix /home
works. Commands like 'cd', 'pwd' and 'cygpath' use the prefix correctly.
I think the mount operation has been successful.
However, issuing 'find / -name AfileOnD -print' only will search C drive,
not D drive. Surely the problem lies with the find command.
I think the user documentation about mount is slightly wrong about the
use of backslashes in the mount command line. What I have done seems to
work, with the only exception the find command.
Has anyone else used cygwin with two partitions and attempted to mount
the second partition? Do the find command work correctly?

You need to use the backslash on the physical directory name. I.E.:
mount D:\\topdirectory /home
I know from experience that it doesn't work with the forward slash.

huh?
BASH.EXE-2.02$ mkdir /foo /bar
BASH.EXE-2.02$ mount c:/temp /foo
BASH.EXE-2.02$ mount c:\\temp /bar
BASH.EXE-2.02$ mount
Device Directory Type Flags
c:\temp /foo native text!=binary
c:\temp /bar native text!=binary
U: / native text=binary
Both mounts look the same to me, and the relevant registry entries are
the same.
This is for cygwin B20.1 running under NT4SP3 and Win98.
Am I missing something?

Yup, because you're in bash and '\' is an escape character, not a
directory separator.

You're using bash's builtin mkdir (or cygwin's mkdir.exe), and it's
using the mount table. You need to use MS's shell so it won't know
about the mount table.

OK, this is what I was looking for. To add the conversions is not such a big
deal.
We are porting the discrete-event simulator omnet++ from linux. It's a
mixture of c++ and tcl,
so hopefully I can do the conversions from posix to win in c++ using the

Pity about find. The omnet++ install script uses find to locate various
system components.
Thanks for the response.

Right. stat() can find it, but readdir() can't. Try making the
c:\home directory.

Hi,
There seems to be some shortcomings in the way the mount command works.
For example, I have cygwin installed on a primary partition C. A second
extended partition D is mounted using 'mount d:/ /home' . When I issue a
command like 'find / -name file -print' , only C is searched. Surely drive D
should be searched also?
If I try and use a file specification like /home/user01/filex.xbm in tcl
code, it does not work. I must always use d:/user01/filex.xbm . This breaks
a lot of code. I really don't want to add conversions in all my code.
Is mount this limited?
Regards ...

This is exactly what I have done:
Activate NT command prompt and then enter the following command 'mkdir
c:\home'.
Start bash shell and enter the command mount. The following output is
displayed:
Device Directory Type Flags
C: / native text!=binary
Now I want to mount drive D: and set the mountpoint as /home. So we follow
the
instructions in the user manual and enter the command 'mount d:\ /home'. The
command fails and some verbage is displayed about how to use mount. OK, so
the examples in the user manual are wrong.
Enter the command 'mount D:/ /home'. The command completes with no verbage
displayed. To check enter the command 'mount'. The following is displayed:
Device Directory Type Flags
D: /home native text!=binary
C: / native text!=binary
OK, so I created the directory home first and then issued the mount. This
is the correct procedure. I can run make files which use the prefix /home
and code is compiled correctly. Listing directories using the prefix /home
works. Commands like 'cd', 'pwd' and 'cygpath' use the prefix correctly.
I think the mount operation has been successful.
However, issuing 'find / -name AfileOnD -print' only will search C drive,
not D drive. Surely the problem lies with the find command.
I think the user documentation about mount is slightly wrong about the
use of backslashes in the mount command line. What I have done seems to
work, with the only exception the find command.
Has anyone else used cygwin with two partitions and attempted to mount
the second partition? Do the find command work correctly?

huh?
BASH.EXE-2.02$ mkdir /foo /bar
BASH.EXE-2.02$ mount c:/temp /foo
BASH.EXE-2.02$ mount c:\\temp /bar
BASH.EXE-2.02$ mount
Device Directory Type Flags
c:\temp /foo native text!=binary
c:\temp /bar native text!=binary
U: / native text=binary
Both mounts look the same to me, and the relevant registry entries are
the same.
This is for cygwin B20.1 running under NT4SP3 and Win98.
Am I missing something?

You need to use the backslash on the physical directory name. I.E.:
mount D:\\topdirectory /home
I know from experience that it doesn't work with the forward slash.

No, exit from cygwin and STAY OUT. Use the regular ms-dos window

Yup, because you're in bash and '\' is an escape character, not a
directory separator.

You're using bash's builtin mkdir (or cygwin's mkdir.exe), and it's
using the mount table. You need to use MS's shell so it won't know
about the mount table.

I assume you mean 'mkdir c:\home'
So I have done done the following:
umount /home (hopefully this will clean out the reg)
rm -r /home
Exit from cygwin and start it again
cd /temp
mkdir c:\home
Whoops it created it in c:/temp.
mkdir c:/home
OK that put it in the right place where I had it before
mount D:/ /home
running mount gives the output:
Device Directory Type Flags
D: /home native text!=binary
C: / native text!=binary
and ls -F gives
AUTOEXEC.BAT*
CONFIG.SYS
IO.SYS
MSDOS.SYS
Multimedia Files/
NTDETECT.COM*
Program Files/
RECYCLER/
TEMP/
WINNT/
bin/
boot.ini
cygnus/
home/
ntldr
tmp/
So everything looks correct, as before.
find / -name .bashrc -print
.bashrc is on drive D and it is not found.
Oh well, no magical fix.

OK, this is what I was looking for. To add the conversions is not such a big
deal.
We are porting the discrete-event simulator omnet++ from linux. It's a
mixture of c++ and tcl,
so hopefully I can do the conversions from posix to win in c++ using the
cygwin api.
Pity about find. The omnet++ install script uses find to locate various
system components.

Did you create a c:\home directory before you did the mount? Having
that empty directory on the parent drive makes a big difference in how
well some commands work, which is why mount warns you about them.

TCL itself doesn't use cygwin for stuff like that. It goes right to
the Win32 calls, so you have to do conversions all over the place.
