Re: Remounting /cygdrive/c as /c


Just curious, why do you think this will be helpful?
I'd be interested in understanding your reasoning on this.
I can't see an obvious reason why this would be necessary
but I'm always interested in hearing other people's
experiences and solutions.

Thanks,
Larry

Hi. I searched the archives, but did not find anything on this.

According


to the man page for mount and Christopher Faylor original announcement
(http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-09/msg00014.html ), the

command:


mount -s --change-cygdrive-prefix /

should remount the /cygdrive/c filesystem as /c. When I do this and

type ls


/c, I see:

ls /c
ls: /c: No such file or directory

and the df command shows the mount points have not changed. I am doing

this


from an account with Administrator priviledges on Win XP, cygwin release
version is 1.3.22-1.

What am I missing?


What does the output of 'mount -m' say about '--change-cygdrive-prefix'?
BTW, the steps above work fine for me.
