Again, CYNUX. Whatever you learned about mount in Linux will not apply to Cygwin. You've made the mistake of assuming that it does. An understandable mistake, but still not MSFTEU.

What does "'-f' also means '-no-no-executable'" have to do with Linux? Anyway, *I* thought that "this flag that we tell you does X in fact /also/ does Y" was an appropriate use of the acronym. If it isn't, then I guess I don't know what is.


FWIW, running "mount -rtfm" produces extremely helpful output. :-D

Heh... one character different from 'mount -wtf'? ;-)
