RE: 'ls /' does not work


I used to have a similar problem with du.  A du under the root
directory would give some error (if I remember right it was about
not finding a '..' entry).  The error has since gone away, but it
might be because we are using NTFS instead of FAT now.

I am using beta17.1. running on Windows 95
'ls /' gives no output, either from within bash or at command.com
prompt. Similarly pressing tab after / also provides no completions.

mount says c: is mounted on /, which is what is is in the registry
too. If I delete the registry entry, both mount and bash restore the entry.
Even if I change the registry entry to c:\ or c:\\, bash changes it to
c:.

After providing a directory name under root, for example /gnu-win32/
filename completion works, as also ls.

Any ideas? TIA,
