Mount problems using NT Roaming profile.

Mount problems using NT Roaming profile.

[oddvard.myrnes]

I am working in a international compant with brances all over. I have
observed somthing that I suspect to be a bug in Cygwin. The list of events:

My cygwin version. uname -a  CYGWIN_NT-4.0 SCS-R1FWJ 1.3.2(0.39/3/2)
2001-05-20 23:28 i686 unknown.
My windows installation: Win NT 4.0 service pack 5.
Hardware: Dell OptiPlex G1.

1. Installed Cygwin on my local mashine using my roaming profile.
2. Mounted source code, data and Unix user catalogs. Before mounting I
created the directories:
     /develop (for source)
     /multidata (for application data)
     /home/softies (UNIX home catalogs)

     c:\sybase on /opt/sybase11 type user (binmode)
     F: on /develop type user (binmode)
     G: on /home/softies type user (binmode)
     H: on /multidata type user (binmode)
3. Installed cygwin on another mashine using my roaming profile.
     NB: Registry are copied to new mashine before installation.
4. The mount table residing in the registry reported all mount points ok.
     NB: None of the above mount directories exists!
5. Alls sorts of error happend. Make whould not find files, copying of
textfiles where corrupted etc.
6. Solution: Created the mount point directories.

Mount should report errors when mounting filesystems where the mount point
does not exsist.
