However, this isn't >required. I haven't tried this with the patch (SLASH_P) that someone posted, but creating an empty directory before mounting doesn't exactly work right for me. For example, % cd / % mkdir /testdir % mount -b d:/testdir /testdir % ls /testdir # works correctly file1 file2 % ls testdir # doesn't work /usr/bin/ls: testdir/file1: No such file or directory /usr/bin/ls: testdir/file2: No such file or directory It would be nice if this would work, either by requiring a mount point be created and handling it correctly (less preferred) or by faking directory entries for mount points (better). -- James Dumser 972-462-5335 dumser AT ti DOT com - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
