In my attempt to understand, can you tell me where (and why) this would fail?It doesn't deal with imbedded spaces in the cygdrive prefix --
mount -m | grep "mount -u" | tail -1 | awk '{print $5}'
i.e., the point of this exercise.
-m, --mount-commands
write mount commands to replace user and system mount points and
cygdrive prefixes
Since all this script does is take this output of mount -m and parse it.... Is "mount -m" is broken then?
Am I not understanding the man page or am I so dense that I'm missing something?
Hint: What does "awk '{print $5}'" do?
I apppreciate your time. Ken
