Hmm, those are mutually contradictory... guess I'll "experiment". Out of
curiosity, what are any of these expected to do?
They are indeed mutually exclusive. See 'man mount' for an explanation of
the
flags. You might want to try -x or -X.
Right, I *was* looking at the man, which is why I was confused. It
doesn't say why this would help, though; does it somehow allow Cygwin to
skip the fstat() call? Also, why *is* fstat() so inefficient? Can
anything be done about it?
I *am* going to play with them, if I can convince Cygwin to let me
*un*mount the path. :-)
Just a WAG, but do take a look at the -u and -s flags to mount/umount.
Otherwise, please let us know what exact error message you're getting from
umount.
Nope, wasn't umount'ing.. sorry, my bad. :-)
I was misremembering that Cygwin doesn't have or need a 'umount'.
Must've been thinking about something else. At any rate, I know I have
sometimes been able to re-mount drives without first unmounting them.
