I just installed Cygwin 1.0 from the CD and I'm having trouble mounting
Win32 drives to
Cygwin paths.
Following the "How can I access other drives?" topic in the faq, I do
this:
bash-2.03$ mkdir /c
bash-2.03$ mount c:/ /c
bash-2.03$ ls /c
bash-2.03$
Notice my ls command didn't show me what is in c:\ and I don't know why!
However, if I do the faq's "special means of accessing other drive
letters"
syntax, I get this, which is what I feel I should have gotten with `ls
/c' above:
bash-2.03$ ls //c/
AUTOEXEC.BAT CONFIG.SYS Logo_.sys RECYCLED
ffastun.ffo
BOOTLOG.PRV DBLSPACE.INI MAB SCANDISK.LOG
ffastun0.ffx
BOOTLOG.TXT DELL MSDOS.SYS Utilitys
logo.sys
Batch Dos Mew71 WINDOWS
winzip.log
CDROM IO.SYS PREALG ffastun.ffa
COMMAND.COM Junk Program Files ffastun.ffl
bash-2.03$
Here's my mount table before I do the mount:
Device Directory Type Flags
\\.\tape1: /dev/st1 native text!=binary
\\.\tape0: /dev/st0 native text!=binary
\\.\b: /dev/fd1 native text!=binary
\\.\a: /dev/fd0 native text!=binary
C: / native text!=binary
Here's my mount table after I do the mount:
Device Directory Type Flags
\\.\tape1: /dev/st1 native text!=binary
\\.\tape0: /dev/st0 native text!=binary
\\.\b: /dev/fd1 native text!=binary
\\.\a: /dev/fd0 native text!=binary
c: /c native text!=binary
C: / native text!=binary
Can anyone shed some light on why this isn't working for me?

The first parameter to mount must be in DOS notation.

Earnie, I don't understand. I have done this (many times) using the
forward slash. I believe the documentation also says you can do it this
way (however, I have not verified this yet).
The following is copied from a bash session in a DOS box window:
[ramjr]$ mount
Device Directory Type Flags
c:\usr\bob /home/bob user binmode
C:\Cygwin / system binmode
[ramjr]$ mkdir -p /drv/d
[ramjr]$ mount -b d:/ /drv/d
[ramjr]$ mount
Device Directory Type Flags
c:\usr\bob /home/bob user binmode
C:\Cygwin / system binmode
d: /drv/d user binmode
[ramjr]$ ls /drv/d
RECYCLED
[ramjr]$ ls //d
RECYCLED
[ramjr]$
I was curious about the "mount" output listing just "d:" for the Device
column, so I unmounted it and did the following:
[ramjr]$ ls //d
RECYCLED
[ramjr]$ mkdir //d/tst
[ramjr]$ ls //d
RECYCLED tst
[ramjr]$ mount -b d:/tst /drv/d
[ramjr]$ mount
Device Directory Type Flags
c:\usr\bob /home/bob user binmode
C:\Cygwin / system binmode
d:\tst /drv/d user binmode
[ramjr]$ ls /drv/d
[ramjr]$ touch //d/tst/new
[ramjr]$ ls /drv/d
new
[ramjr]$
The software changes the path in this case, replacing the forward slash
with a back slash (UNIX -> DOS format). Perhaps the problem relates to
the first example, where the DOS Device name does not contain a
backslash?
