Hello cygwin,
$ mount
Device Directory Type Flags
c:\SERVER\Apache\cgi-bin /mnt/cgi user binmode
C:\SERVER\eggdrop\1.5.3 /mnt/egg user binmode
C:\CygWin\home\takeda /home/administrator user binmode
C:\CygWin\bin /usr/bin user binmode
C:\CygWin\lib /usr/lib user binmode
C:\CygWin / user binmode
$ mount --show-cygdrive-prefixes
Prefix Type Flags
/cygdrive user binmode
As you see all mounting points are set into binary mode, but I notice
that cygwin still write files in text mode and this is realy anoying.
Right now I use Windows 2000 Server, I notice this problem with older
cygwin under win98, but it disapears after some time (I guess
upgrading helps, right now I use this same version which was working
correctly under win98)
Right now I'm trying to upgrade and I will see that problem will
exists or not ...
BTW: In registry flags are:
for /cygdrive is 0x22
fo other mount points is 0x02
I check with registry in w98 and is the same ...
BTW2: Why I can't add mount point to system-wide registry location?
When I trying to use arguments -bs it displays help.
BTW3: It's normal that when I'm mounting in place of win32patch
Instead of backslashes I need to use shlashes?
ie. C:\WINDOWS I need write as C:/WINDOWS to make mount command
working.
