Mounts are: $ cat /proc/mounts C:/cygwin/bin /usr/bin ntfs binary,auto 1 1 C:/cygwin/lib /usr/lib ntfs binary,auto 1 1 C:/cygwin / ntfs binary,auto 1 1 C: /cygdrive/c ntfs binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1 G: /cygdrive/g netapp binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1 L: /cygdrive/l netapp binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1 M: /cygdrive/m netapp binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1 O: /cygdrive/o netapp binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1 P: /cygdrive/p netapp binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1 T: /cygdrive/t netapp binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1 V: /cygdrive/v netapp binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1 W: /cygdrive/w netapp binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1 X: /cygdrive/x netapp binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1 Y: /cygdrive/y netapp binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1 Z: /cygdrive/z netapp binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1 I've read somewhere noacl should be given for these mounts. Could not find it, even with a fresh installed cygwin on a fresh windows. Trying to reset acls to defaults for "C:\cygwin" gives lots of "access denied" errors, even if running as "Administrator" from an elevated shell. Tried both "cmd.exe" and "powershell.exe". Both did not allow to change acls. Seems as if "C:\cygwin" has lost ownership an some acls. Any idea to get them back in place for the whole tree? -- Thomas
