- Subject: Reading mount point entries via /proc/registry
Weird issue. Just documenting it here - it's more of a curiosity.
You can't look up mount point registry entries via the /proc/registry
interface, because the mount point names (which become the directory
entries) have "/"s in them.
$ ls -l /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Cygnus\
Solutions/Cygwin/mounts\ v2/
total 0

Oh, but how do I look inside that "/" entry :-/?
(How *would* something like this be done, anyway? Would it make sense to
encode the special characters in the key and value names somehow?)
