In the example below, mount tells me the directory doesn't exist, yet it
does. I can "ls" it, and create files in it, and cat them.
I suspect the warning really means that "/" isn't mounted.
On a system without Cygwin installed:
bash-2.05b$ mount
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (textmode,noumount)
l: on /cygdrive/l type user (textmode,noumount)
m: on /cygdrive/m type user (textmode,noumount)
u: on /cygdrive/u type user (textmode,noumount)
x: on /cygdrive/x type user (textmode,noumount)
bash-2.05b$ ls c:/temp/mnt/tmp
a
bash-2.05b$ mount c:/temp/mnt/tmp /tmp
mount: warning - /tmp does not exist.
bash-2.05b$ echo b > /tmp/b
bash-2.05b$ ls /tmp
a b
bash-2.05b$ ls c:/temp/mnt/tmp
a b
bash-2.05b$ cat c:/temp/mnt/tmp/b
b
I'm about to test that I can indeed ignore this warning as incorrect.
If I'm wrong, I'll post the results.
