Category: MSYS Group: None >Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Steve PECHBERTI (sanke) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Adding support to TrueCrypt container Initial Comment: Hi everybody, I don't know if it is the right place here to place my request because I'm using MSYSGIT non MSYS but in the thread (http://groups.google.com/group/msysgit/browse_thread/thread/8799353741890157) which is a "similar" problem, they redirect the request to you, so. I would like to use a truecrypt container, which contain my GIT repository with MSYS, but it doesn't see the new drive letter assigned by TrueCrypt. All drives are seen and "mounted" in their repectives drives (/c /d /e /f ...) except for TC container (Y:) which cannot be used by MSYS (bash: cd: /y: No such file or directory). Windows explorer display the TC container as Y: and works fine. I apologize for my awful english (I'm working on it), and hope that my request could be take into account by your team. Thanks in advance for answer/advice/tips/solution or patch? Have a nice day, Best regards, Steve ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Steve PECHBERTI (sanke) Date: 2011-07-26 10:28 Message: Hi Earnie, You're right, I have installed the standard MSYS distribution and it works fine with TrueCrypt container. I will test your solution by merging standard MSYS and GIT executables, I hope that it willl work. Thank you for your answer, Maybe I will come back to you for further information if I get troubles, Best regards, Steve ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Earnie Boyd (earnie) Date: 2011-07-25 20:13 Message: Modifying to a Support Request. I believe your issue is the msysgit version of MSYS. You should replace their version of MSYS with an official version of MSYS. IIRC, one of the modifications of the forked MSYS was to remove the thread watching the /etc directory. Unless you are using the official MSYS we cannot help you. There are some who are working to bring the git client to MSYS itself. However, they have yet to find the round tuits to give time to that project. I myself took the git executables, DLLs and a few of the scripts and copied them directly to my /bin directory. You may give that a try as well but just replacing the msys-1.0.dll in the msysgit delivered MSYS with the most recent MSYS we deliver should be the easiest thing to do. With our MSYS you should be able to add a drive then execute a ``touch /etc/fstab'' to add that drive to your mounted directories. I do not think the same will work for the msysgit version due to their modifications.
