The only mount specification in /etc/fstab which appears to be ignored is the one for /. I can't say why that is so, and I don't know a way around that fact. I think Corinna manages that. You have at least two possible workarounds available: 1) Set the SHELLOPTS environment variable to "igncr" so that Bash will ignore the DOS line endings, or 2) Create a new text mode mount and then use your scripts from that new mount. Option 1 is only good for Bash, so if you have other programs which choke on the DOS line endings, it's not going to work for you. Option 2 may require a process change for you, but it should work as long as your scripts live in the new mount and are referenced via that mount's path. -Jeremy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
