The mount command (for which I need to type /bin/mount) shows nothing mounted there. I type the following two commands: mount c:/cygwin/bin /usr/bin mount c:/cygwin/lib /usr/lib and things work (through reboots) for a while, and then break again. Any hints how I can keep this from happening, or what might cause it?
One big hint: http://cygwin.com/problems.html
Sometimes I'm not good at interpreting hints. Let's see - Google didn't find me anything. The FAQ doesn't seem to help. So I think the hint is telling me to include cygcheck output, which I will now do. http://old.nabble.com/file/p34007924/cygcheck.out cygcheck.out
By the way, the response to the mount command now looks like
rw@seven ~ $ mount C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,user) C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,user) C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto) C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) D: on /cygdrive/d type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
rw@seven ~ $
I note that another cygwin installation has (binary,auto) instead of (binary,user) for the two mounts in question.
look on difference between "/etc/fstab" see http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table
