Ah yes, sorry for my initial silly reply. I was looking at another
FAQ entry which did not have the leading '/' character, which I see
now is incorrect.
Stephan, if you type 'mount -p' you'll probably see both user and
system mounts:
Prefix Type Flags
/cygdrive user textmode
/test system textmode
But of course the user setting takes precedence. I don't know if it
makes sense to "remove" the user cygdrive prefix. If it doesn't,
you're only choice (that I see) is to omit the -s option and do it for
the user. And that means do it for *each* user.
I'll probably have to amend the FAQ entry to explain this.
Thanks,
David
