Re: bash: difference between //c/ and c:/
* Corinna Vinschen
| So it has to be:
|
| mount -s -b --change-cygdrive-prefix /
I'll have to try this, too.
In the meantime I could solve my Openssh login problems by using
`mount' and recreating /etc/passwd to have /home/user as HOME.
a) mount -s -b c:\\home /home
This resolves the login-via-ssh-problem (bash not working as
login-shell at all)
b) mount -s -b c:\\ /c
this solves the `ls: .: no such file or directory' when I cd to
c:/temp in a remote-login bash/sh and then invoke `ls'.
Step `b' should be obsoleted by --change-cygdrive, I have to test
that.
So the keypoint seems to me to `mount' all related pathes:
- the home directories if they are to be `outside' of /
(/ is c:/cygwin, /home should be c:/home)
- the drives, either via explicit mounts, or via --change-cygdrive
This all relates to remote logins via openssh on my system. Local
Desktop bash runs just fine.
Thanks folks, you've pointed me in the right direction. No more //c/
business :-)
