Thank you. I love that. Another request: Is it possible to make an
ls //servername/ work so that it lists all the available shares?

It's probably possible to do but I have no plans on doing this.

OK, I think I had misunderstood what was going on! I'd seen the above page
but hadn't taken in the details below the section with the mount examples.
It's much clearer now. Thanks. Maybe what I was really asking was for 'ls

You know that we're emulating POSIX devices, don't you?   What sense
is in having a native Windows view on devices if they are only
supported as POSIX devices?

Chris,

This is an excellent improvement. Many thanks. Is it possible to extend this
kind of functionality to the //./ syntax so that an ls //./ would show all
the Posix style physical devices that are available?

New feature in cygwin snapshot

[Christopher Faylor]

I've recently augmented the /cygdrive abilities of cygwin.

It is now possible to do this:

    bash$ ls /cygdrive
    a  c  d

or even this:

    bash$ cd /cygdrive
    bash$ ls
    a  c  d

Command completion from shells should also work.

Currently all of the above is short-circuited if your cygdrive is set to
'/', however.  Cygwin currently assumes that it has complete control of
the directory name which is being used as a cygdrive prefix and that is
obviously not true if you have changed your cygdrive prefix to '/'.

This functionality is available in the latest snapshot.

You know that we're emulating POSIX devices, don't you?   What sense
is in having a native Windows view on devices if they are only
