Hi, The drive mapping was created in a Windows context for use within a Windows context - i.e. via Explorer - onto a device on a remote node; there has been no specific configuration applied within the context of Cygwin. Whether or not the device is available, there is a Z: drive mapping maintained within Explorer, however the /cygdrive/z/ mount is only available if the device is available. Thus I am guessing that the list of devices to be checked and transformed is taken from the information made available from the Windows context rather than with consideration of the Cygwin context, and thus the Z: drive is passed through the check and transform even though it is not listed by 'mount'. The problem is exhibited on: Windows 7 Professional Ver 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1 ... with both the: Current Build: CYGWIN_NT-6.1 shackleton 3.1.0(0.340/5/3) 2019-11-19 13:58 x86_64 Cygwin ... and the build under which the problem was first observed: CYGWIN_NT-6.1 shackleton 3.0.7(0.338/5/3) 2019-04-30 18:08 x86_64 Cygwin The problem was exhibited following these two commands: shackleton:sulla:$ cd /cygdrive/ shackleton:sulla:$ ls -la Many thanks. -- Mutt 1.12.1 (2019-06-15) -- 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
