/: mount
C:/cygwin64/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/cygwin64/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/cygwin64 on / type ntfs (binary,auto)
C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
That's it! Thanks!
But why does Cygwin mount the directories /usr/bin and /usr/lib extra?
Why not a symbolic link?
And which process does this mounting?
