Re: Programatically finding value of "cygdrive" prefix

Yes you are missing something, and no 'mount -m' works perfectly fine.
If the cygdrive prefix has a space in it, using awk to print the fifth
word will be incorrect. Consider:
echo 'mount -s -b --change-cygdrive-prefix "/thing with spaces"' \
| awk '{ print $5 }'
