Consequences of mount -c

Consequences of mount -c

[Fergus]

I have set
/bin/mount -c "/"
in ‎~/.bashrc with many subsequent easements in use. 
In /usr/share/fonts/microsoft/ there are unfortunately
multiple links referring to files in
/cygdrive/c/Windows/Fonts/; all broken. 
Similarly in‎ /etc/, several links pointing to files in
/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/; all broken. 
I've only just noticed this. I don't much want to remove the mount -c instruction. Is there anything else that can be done to correct things?

if you use mount in ‎~/.bashrc, it is too late for postinstall script
like

/etc/postinstall/zp_fontconfig_cache_1.sh

Use /etc/fstab

------------------------------------
# For a description of the file format, see the Users Guide
# http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table

none / cygdrive binary 0 0
------------------------------------

and run again
/etc/postinstall/zp_fontconfig_cache_1.sh

Marco

These links should all go through /proc/cygdrive, really.  However, the
option to make it so (-U) hasn't been in cygpath for very long, so it's not
used yet in the postinstall.  The next release of base-files will use this
option, so the problems in /etc will be gowing away.  The postinstall script
for fontconfig, xinit and WindowMaker should be treated similarly (there may
be others that I haven't on my system).

Achim.

Do that in /etc/fstab
The example is at the very top of it.
Uncomment and change the mount path as you see fit.

If I understand it right, all you need is to re-run fontconfig after changing
the mount path.
