Re: Odd mount and path problem
I got an explanation that had something to do with the current drive
affecting the way /cygdrive is interpreted. However, I wasn't using
/cygdrive in my path, so I don't understand the real reason that you
have to include the drive letter in mount table.
Thanks.

basic response is :
you miss the DOS drive letter in your mount points
and the / moint point looks wrong (maybe d:\cygwin ?):
D: on / type system (binmode)
Excellent - that was the problem, although I really don't understand
why. Once d:/ is mounted on /, why do I need to qualify all the other
mount points?
Did you get an answer to this Larry?
