From: EPA@datcon.co.uk (Edward Avis) Subject: Blatant FAQ about mount points 14 May 1998 04:54:58 -0700 Message-ID: To: "'gnu-win32@cygnus.com'" I'm sorry, but I've read the entire FAQ and I still don't understand how to mount my root filesystem in binary mode. This is what I'm doing: -------- C:\>mount Device Directory Type Flags \\.\tape1: /dev/st1 native text!=binary \\.\tape0: /dev/st0 native text!=binary \\.\b: /dev/fd1 native text!=binary \\.\a: /dev/fd0 native text!=binary C: / native text!=binary C:\>umount / C:\>mount Device Directory Type Flags \\.\tape1: /dev/st1 native text!=binary \\.\tape0: /dev/st0 native text!=binary \\.\b: /dev/fd1 native text!=binary \\.\a: /dev/fd0 native text!=binary C: / native text!=binary C:\>umount C: C:\>mount Device Directory Type Flags \\.\tape1: /dev/st1 native text!=binary \\.\tape0: /dev/st0 native text!=binary \\.\b: /dev/fd1 native text!=binary \\.\a: /dev/fd0 native text!=binary C: / native text!=binary C:\>umount C:/ C:\>mount Device Directory Type Flags \\.\tape1: /dev/st1 native text!=binary \\.\tape0: /dev/st0 native text!=binary \\.\b: /dev/fd1 native text!=binary \\.\a: /dev/fd0 native text!=binary C: / native text!=binary C:\>umount C:\ C:\>mount Device Directory Type Flags \\.\tape1: /dev/st1 native text!=binary \\.\tape0: /dev/st0 native text!=binary \\.\b: /dev/fd1 native text!=binary \\.\a: /dev/fd0 native text!=binary C: / native text!=binary -------- I just can't unmount the C: drive - and that means I get "device or resource busy" when I try to mount it in binary mode. I've looked at the registry with a view to changing the mount points by hand, but they appear in several different places, and always under "b15.0". Am I missing something here? (I'm using B19.1, plus coolview. Everything works fine, apart from those things that don't like text!=binary.) -- Ed Avis - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
