I've never had ls say it can't read ., but I do remember having path
completion problems. I think that's why I use symbolic links instead of
mount for drives; something like:
cd /
ln -s /cygdrive/c
etc. Then I just cd /c and seldom have to use /cygdrive at all. I'm sure
somebody will explain why this is a bad idea, which is one reason I'm
responding here. But it does seem to muddle through...
First reason it's a bad (or at least, dumb) idea:
'mount -c /'
:-)
As for the OP's problem, I think I saw someone else mention the exact
same problem recently. Try searching the archives.
