Don't mount to /cygdrive/c/DATA/; mount points to a subdirectory of /cygdrive don't really do any good, because the path resolution does not look for mount points residing inside /cygdrive. Instead, mount c:\data\myproject to a POSIX path (ie. something like /myProject). > > but indeed the directory of interest seems to work in binmode. > I need the directory in the "surrounding" of the other directories, i.e. > relative paths are required. If just one subdirectory needs to be text, relative to others that are binary, then it may be worth mounting those others as well to preserve your desired relative hierarchy. > PS: The problem with "ar" is still there and I think (as Eric pointed > out) that "ar" is not correctly reading in binmode/textmode. Once I > solved the mounting problems, I will do some more tests with "ar". What more needs to be tested? Until cgf releases a new binutils with an update to ar that forces binary mode on all archival actions, the current behavior on textmounts isn't going to change. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
