And it's standard UNIX practice to create the mount point directory first. Or, more correctly, you *have* to create the directory first. Cygwin doesn't require you to create the directory before mounting to it but doing so doesn't have much in the way of advantages, as you've noticed. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
