MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows

Cygwin's mount supports syntax like

  mount -s -b //scooby/bfriesen /scooby

but when I try this syntax with MSYS 1.1's mount, the error
"mount: /scooby: Function not implemented" is reported.

Does MSYS not support UNC network mounts?

Re: [Mingw-msys] MSYS doesn't mount UNC pathnames? From: Luke Dunstan <coder_infidel@ho...> - 2002-06-05 02:40 AFAIK there is no such thing as MSYS version 1.1, and MSYS has no 'mount' command. You must have the Cygwin 'bin' directory in your path while running MSYS, which should be avoided. MSYS mounts are set in the file /etc/fstab: please see the documentation.

I meant MSYS version 1.0.7-2. I was confused because the version of MinGW is 1.1. Cygwin is not in my path. Instead I am using the MSYS mount command which is /usr/bin/mount.exe. I tried /etc/fstab first but the entry was ignored. I did in fact read *all* of the documentation. It was not hard. I do see mention in the file MSYS_VS_CYGWIN that the mount command can only list mounts. My question remains unanswered ...

Sorry, you are right.

You must exit all MSYS sessions and start a session before the change will be seen. All my tests were done with two MSYS windows open. I would close one and restart it. Since there was still a MSYS session going, /etc/fstab was ignored. It is now working. For some reason network access seems much less responsive than when I mapped a share to a drive letter "Z:" and accessed via "/z". I wonder why?

It's on the round tuit list to signal MSYS about the changes to /etc/fstab and reinitialize the internal mount table. > For some reason network access seems much less responsive than when I > mapped a share to a drive letter "Z:" and accessed via "/z".
