Cygwin mount option -s is not supported

Cygwin mount option -s is not supported

[KAVALAGIOS Panagiotis (EEAS-EXT)]

Hello,

I am trying to make "config.sh" of Weblogic 12c Release 2 (v12.2.1.4.201001) working under Cygwin. After having fixed with dos2unix all the broken shell scripts that were full of MS-DOS CRLF, my attempt to create a Weblogic domain has failed again by running:

---------
$ ./oracle_common/common/bin/config.sh
mount: unknown option -- s
Try `mount --help' for more information.
Error: Could not find or load main class com.oracle.cie.wizard.WizardController
---------

The problem is located in the following script:

oracle_common/common/bin/commBaseEnv.sh:

---------
  if [ -n "`uname -s |grep -i cygwin_`" ]; then
  # If we are on an new version of Cygnus we need to turn <letter>:/ in
  # the path to /cygdrive/<letter>/
    CYGDRIVE=`mount -p | tail -1 | awk '{print $1}' | sed -e 's%/$%%'`
    WL_HOME_CYGWIN=`echo $WL_HOME | sed "s#\([a-zA-Z]\):#${CYGDRIVE}/\1#g"`
    ANT_HOME_CYGWIN=`echo $ANT_HOME | sed "s#\([a-zA-Z]\):#${CYGDRIVE}/\1#g"`
    PATCH_PATH_CYGWIN=`echo $PATCH_PATH | sed "s#\([a-zA-Z]\):#${CYGDRIVE}/\1#g"`
    JAVA_HOME_CYGWIN=`echo $JAVA_HOME | sed "s#\([a-zA-Z]\):#${CYGDRIVE}/\1#g"`
    JRE_HOME_CYGWIN=`echo $JRE_HOME | sed "s#\([a-zA-Z]\):#${CYGDRIVE}/\1#g"`
---------

From Linux mount:

---------
-s     Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than failing. This will ignore mount options not supported by a filesystem type. Not all filesystems support this option. This option exists for support of the  Linux  autofs-based automounter.
---------

But it seems that the "mount" command of Cygwin does not support that option. Was that option ever supported in previous versions? Is it going to be supported? Do they know something more in Oracle that have used it in their scripts?

I know that this is not an issue of Cygwin and it should be reported to Oracle support. I just want to check all the necessary information first. I think it was working in the past (previous versions of Weblogic and/or Cygwin). The mystery must be resolved.

Hi.

Hard to say why Oracle's script is written this way. Standard Cygwin 
tool for file names conversion is cygpath. Instead of using sed, one can 
write
WL_HOME_CYGWIN=`cygpath -u $WL_HOME`
- simpler and the result will be more consistent. Example

$ WL_HOME='C:\some\dir\subdir'            # Windows path
$ echo "$WL_HOME" | sed "s#\([a-zA-Z]\):#/cygdrive/c/\1#g"
/cygdrive/c/C\some\dir\subdir             # mixed forward and back slashes
$ cygpath -u "$WL_HOME"
/cygdrive/c/some/dir/subdir               # pretty Cygwin path

Use of 'Cygnus' refers to 20+ years ago when Cygwin was a product.

Especially note the cygpath -U -> /proc/cygdrive/, -a -> /..., and -p path 
conversion options should be used as appropriate: try all three!

That explains the mystery. Thanks!

So, it might have been working quite "recently" then :)

Cygpath then is the correct approach to resolve this issue. I had no doubt about that. Anyway, this is not the only problem. They have messed the CLASSPATH as well and it needs to be updated to the correct libraries.

If you have an Oracle support contract, please submit a TAR, and attach any 
patches you make, to upstream support, to avoid having to keep making changes 
every update.
