You have to unmount '/' first. It's best if you do something like this
mount -m >/tmp/mtab
...edit the file to add `-o managed'..
and then unmount your mount points, e.g.
umount /
umount /usr/bin
umount /usr/lib
and finally, remount
. /tmp/mtab
your mount points. I think it'd be better if you do this from a dos prompt, and
shutdown all running Cygwin processes and services before doing so.
If you have Cygwin/XFree86 installed, you don't need to `umount' the fonts mount
point, and might be better removing it from /tmp/mtab .
