Why do you give this warning? I don't have problems with have more
than one mount on the same device.

I had trouble with the find command giving "no such file or directory"
messages, if I have more than one mount from the same partition.
Others reported this behaviour, too, and confirmed, that it went
away, when they used links instead of mounts.
Here are my messages regarding the find problem:

Why does find say, "No such ..." ?
Btw. this happens with the original B20.1 .dll and also with Corinna's
tape aware library.
------------------------< snip snip snip >-----------------------------
Hi,
I could solve the problem with find, I reported here recently.
At least I found a work around for me.
Perhaps you can take it as a bug report, too ?!?
It was a problem with my mount table.
I had a mount table like this:
C: / native text=binary
c:\Entw\Perl /Programme/Perl native text=binary
c:\usr\cygwin-b20\H-i586-cygwin32\bin /bin native text=binary
d: /d native text=binary
\\.\tape0 /dev/nst0 native text=binary
\\.\tape0 /dev/st0 native text=binary
e: /e native text=binary
c:\usr\local\etc /etc native text=binary
z: /home native text=binary
d:\var /var native text=binary
As you can see, besides the necessary mount for c: -> / there are two
other mounts for directories on the same drive -
c:\Entw\Perl and c:\usr\cygwin-b20\H-i586-cygwin32\bin !
I replaced them with symbolic links and everything started to work as
expected.
So I suppose, Cygwin gets confused, when it has to handle more than one
mount for the the same partition or the partition's directories.
Any comments on this ?
------------------------< snip snip snip >-----------------------------
There were no comments on this to sched some light on the problem,
though.
Bye.
Michael.

Let's test it again with the recent snapshots. If you would be so kind,
to publish the patch again (I have erased it by mistake), you, me and,
hopefully, others could test the patch locally for one or two weeks in
their local environment. This should let you easier attach or reject the
patch.

I don't think this has been fixed, actually.
Corrinna submitted a patch that deleted about fifteen lines of code and
caused the correct behavior to miraculously appear but I've been sort of
nervous about applying the patch because I'm not sure what other
ramifications there may be.

Well, sorry to post another naive question, but here is a sequence of
reproducible commands that lead to something very obscure to me : mounting
D: (the disk where cygwin and my root is located) seems to invalid some
internal behaviours (well, let's say some illogical things appear :)
Here it is. I just installed B20.1,
> GNUWIN32=d:/devel/gnuwin32; export GNUWIN32
> CYGROOT=${GNUWIN32}/cygwin-b20; export CYGROOT
- create some directories for a kind of filesystem
> cd ${GNUWIN32}
> mkdir root
> cd root
> mkdir tmp etc d
- mount
> umount /
> mount ${GNUWIN32}/root /
> mount D:/temp /tmp
> mount ${CYGROOT}/etc /etc
No pb until now, for example, let's have a look at /etc (two times) :
> cd /
> ls
d/ etc/ tmp/
> ls etc
termcap
> ls /etc
termcap
Now here is the funny part :
> mount D: /d
> ls etc
> ls d
!! nothing !!
> ls /etc
termcap
> cd /etc
> ls
termcap
!! now here they are, '/etc' works, 'etc' does not !!
> cd ..
> ls d
> ls /d
autoexec.bat config.sys
... etc.
Could anyone explain me why mounting D: ou D:/ ou d:/ to /d produce these
artefacts ? Doing the same thing with C: ou E: will NOT cause any problem.
Is it impossible to mount the drive where cygwin is located ? Installing
coolview did not help too. As well as binary mount.
Thanks

This is a known bug with the mount filesystem emulation and relative
paths. When you do `ls d' you are actually displaying the contents of
the mount point directory which is empty even on UNIX. When you do
`ls /d' the emulation resolves correctly and you see the contents of d:.
This may have been fixed in recent snapshots. I know that Geoff Noer
reworked the code for the mounted directories. Caution, using
snapshots may cause other problems as snapshots aren't tested. Please
read the change log to find out what has changed.

Let's test it again with the recent snapshots. If you would be so kind,
to publish the patch again (I have erased it by mistake), you, me and,
hopefully, others could test the patch locally for one or two weeks in
their local environment. This should let you easier attach or reject the
patch.

I don't think this has been fixed, actually.
Corrinna submitted a patch that deleted about fifteen lines of code and
caused the correct behavior to miraculously appear but I've been sort of
nervous about applying the patch because I'm not sure what other
ramifications there may be.

Well, sorry to post another naive question, but here is a sequence of
reproducible commands that lead to something very obscure to me : mounting
D: (the disk where cygwin and my root is located) seems to invalid some
internal behaviours (well, let's say some illogical things appear :)
Here it is. I just installed B20.1,

> CYGROOT=${GNUWIN32}/cygwin-b20; export CYGROOT

No pb until now, for example, let's have a look at /etc (two times) :
> cd /
> ls
d/ etc/ tmp/
> ls etc
termcap
> ls /etc
termcap
Now here is the funny part :

... etc.
Could anyone explain me why mounting D: ou D:/ ou d:/ to /d produce these
artefacts ? Doing the same thing with C: ou E: will NOT cause any problem.
Is it impossible to mount the drive where cygwin is located ? Installing
coolview did not help too. As well as binary mount.
Thanks
