cygcheck failing verification on latest snapshots

cygcheck failing verification on latest snapshots

[marco atzeri]

On recent snapshots I noticed that
cygcheck is reporting as missing the files under the mount points
/usr/bin
/usr/lib

$ mount
E:/cygwin2/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)
E:/cygwin2/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)
E:/cygwin2 on / type ntfs (binary,auto)
C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
E: on /cygdrive/e type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)

$ cygcheck -c -v bash

Works for me.

Thanks Corinna,
I just discovered the root cause and it is not related to the snapshot but to
/etc/fstab content.

I am using cygwin on an external hard disk and to avoid every time to
redefine the mount point I was using a fstab like this:

/cygwin2 / some_fs binary 0 0
/cygwin2/bin /usr/bin some_fs binary 0 0

instead of

e:/cygwin2 / some_fs binary 0 0
e:/cygwin2/bin /usr/bin some_fs binary 0 0

in the first case cygwin works, without problem whatever is the disk letter,
but cygcheck doesn't succeed to locate the mount points

$ cycheck mount
bash: cycheck: command not found

$ which mount
/usr/bin/mount

$ cygcheck  /usr/bin/mount
\cygwin2\bin\mount.exe
  E:\cygwin2\bin\cygwin1.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
        C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
        C:\WINDOWS\system32\Secur32.dll

in the second case, as expected

$ cygcheck  mount
Found: E:\cygwin2\bin\mount.exe
E:\cygwin2\bin\mount.exe
  E:\cygwin2\bin\cygwin1.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
        C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
        C:\WINDOWS\system32\Secur32.dll

Regards
Marco
