Re: Read not honouring "-r"?

All,
I am working on a script which monitors mounts for free space.
It does this by reading from a config file (surprise) consisting of
mount, threshold, threshold.
One would expect a "read -r fs t2 t3" to process this without attempting
to expand slashes. But I can't seem to get this bit working... And I
can't seem to find any doco on doing that in Cygwin.
I've attached the files I am testing with in the hope that someone can
help me work this out.
No doubt I have missed something rather obvious.
Any assistance greatly appreciated!
You really only need to send the request once.
I guess you're going to need to be more specific about the problem you're
seeing. I got:
# sh test.sh
/
200
200
/c
200
200
/d
200
200
/usr/bin
200
200
/usr/lib
200
200
FWIW, I got the same results on Cygwin and Linux. Perhaps it makes sense to
review the problem reporting guidelines before posting any follow-up:
