If so how would I fix it? Basic difference is the default mode of the mounts which is 'binmode' for 'unix' and 'textmode' for dos. The whole directorytree 'x:\cygwin' is mounted to '/' so it affects all subdirectories. It affects textfiles and how they are stored to disk, in textmode lineendings are '\n\r' in binmode just '\n'. I don't know if it is possible to mix the options. Take a look at your '$ mount' output: Mine is: $ mount c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\include\X11 on /usr/include/X11 type system (binmode) c:\cygwin\perl\text on /perl/text type system (textmode) C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode) \usr\docs on /usr/local/apache/htdocs/docs type system (binmode) d:\src on /usr/src type system (binmode) c: on /hdd/c type system (binmode) d: on /hdd/d type system (binmode) e: on /hdd/e type system (binmode) f: on /cygdrive/f type user (binmode,noumount) g: on /cygdrive/g type user (binmode,noumount) h: on /cygdrive/h type user (binmode,noumount) i: on /cygdrive/i type user (binmode,noumount) j: on /cygdrive/j type user (binmode,noumount) >thanks > >evan gph -- =^..^= -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
