You still didn't answer my question. Why can't you just configure each
server with a path at startup instead of using mounts?

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.

hi there ,
I'm using cygwin bash to run many TCP/IP servers on the same host
machine , i need each server to work with a separate drive , so each
time i start a server the first thing i do is to mount automatically
its corresponding drive , but the result is that the latest mounts
suppress the previous one , so i have allways the same drive for all
my servers.
any help ?
Best Regards.
Saber.
Why not add a parameter to the server you can tell it what drive to use.
