In the Cygwin User's guide is a suggestion (and an example) to change the default prefix with the mount command:
mount -change-cygdrive-prefix / It seems that many of us have chosen to go with changing the prefix to /, but with the latest version of cygwin 1.3.6-1 this leads to / being unusable. Being able to do an "ls /" and see the contents of C:\ is a very desirable feature. In the recent announcement of cygwin 1.3.6-1 the following line describes a new feature which, I believe, causes this breakage: - Allow use of /cygdrive as a directory. (Christopher Faylor) I'd like to ask the Cygwin developers to explain if this is: a) being considered a bug that will be fixed, or b) this is a change in cygwin behavior that we'll have to live with, or c) none of the above - the prefix is changed in a different way now Thanks, Ed -- 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/
