Hi. I want to speed-up access to Google Drive from Cygwin and I want to disable ReadFile when files are statted.
I did the following: mkdir /cygnotexec mount -obind,notexec "/cygdrive/c/ClusterStorage/gdrive/blahb...@gmail.com" "/cygnotexec/basini...@gmail.com" mount -obind,notexec "/cygdrive/c/ClusterStorage/gdrive/blahb...@gmail.com" "/cygdrive/c/ClusterStorage/gdrive/basini...@gmail.com" Never mind "C:\ClusterStorage\": it's a global antivirus exception maintained by my company. This is why I have configured Google Drive to not use g:\ So when I bind mount to a new location and do 'stat *' there, the SysInternals procmon shows no "ReadFile" calls, but if I repeat that in the original location it shows "ReadFile" for every file. `mount` prints that "notexec" is enabled at both, but it's only effective in the new location. Also, `df` sees that the mount is different and prints the available space for Google Drive correctly, but Cygwin doesn't treat it as NFS and doesn't imply "notexec". Should it? $ mount C:/ClusterStorage/gdrive/blahb...@gmail.com on /cygdrive/c/ClusterStorage/gdrive/blahb...@gmail.com type vfat (binary,notexec,user,bind) C:/ClusterStorage/gdrive/blahb...@gmail.com on /cygnotexec/blahb...@gmail.com type vfat (binary,notexec,user,bind) -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
