     Goodmorning every body ,
     
     the main functionality of the server process is to, run make file 
     rules , which will call many cygwin binaries , such as expect , sed , 
     ... 
     and all file names in these makefiles are in POSIX . I have to adapt 
     my distributed application to work with these make files , so i can't 
     change filenames into DOS format.
     
     the architecture of the application is as follows :
     
     - X drives containing the same directory D with the same files ( Clear 
       Case view)
     
     - the server program is a perl program called from .bat script.
     
     
     -> we want to perform some actions remotely on the directories D of    
        each drive , so we launch the server programs from each drive and   
        wait for requests.
     
     suppose we have some drive mounted as our root then all server 
     processes will taket it as teir root too , because , all cygwin will 
     binaries look at mount table ( i suppose ) to perform conversion 
     POSIX -> DOS .
     
     the mechanism i need is some thing like this :
     
        when starting the slave process i mount the drive it is running     
        from but the resulting mount table is a private mount table.
        each process will have its own mount table and will perfrom         
        conversions correctly.
        
     
     Saber.

Why not add a parameter to the server you can tell it what drive to use.
