Read not honouring "-r"?


All,

I am working on a script which monitors mounts for free space.

It does this by reading from a config file (surprise) consisting of
mount, threshold, threshold.

One would expect a "read -r fs t2 t3" to process this without attempting
to expand slashes.  But I can't seem to get this bit working... And I
can't seem to find any doco on doing that in Cygwin.

The files I am using are tagged on the and in the hope that someone can
help me work this out.  Sorry, but the mailservers blocks them otherwise
:(

No doubt I have missed something rather obvious.

Any assistance greatly appreciated!

Regards,
-doug
