- Subject: Bug with /cygdrive/X in binmode
I'm having trouble mounting some of my drives in binmode. As an ordinary
user, I tried:
mount -b -f E: /cygdrive/e
To mount the E: drive in binmode. Mount reports:
$ mount
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (textmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (textmode)
C:\cygwin on / type system (textmode)
E: on /cygdrive/e type user (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (textmode,noumount)
d: on /cygdrive/d type user (textmode,noumount)
z: on /cygdrive/z type user (textmode,noumount)
Writing to files under /cydrive/e still converts \n to \r\n. I used the
following test program (testNL.c):
#include <stdio.h>
main ()
{
FILE *fd;
fd = fopen("HelloWorld", "w");
fprintf(fd, "Hello world\n");
}
Compiled with:
gcc -g testNL.c -o testNL
Test results:
cd /cygdrive/e/Partage/Images
testNL
od -c HelloWorld
0000000 H e l l o w o r l d \r \n
0000015
However, creating another binary mount point, things work as they should:
mkdir /Partage
mount -b E:/Partage /Partage
$ mount
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (textmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (textmode)
E:\Partage on /Partage type user (binmode)
C:\cygwin on / type system (textmode)
E: on /cygdrive/e type user (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (textmode,noumount)
d: on /cygdrive/d type user (textmode,noumount)
z: on /cygdrive/z type user (textmode,noumount)
cd /Partage/Images
testNL
od -c HelloWorld
0000000 H e l l o w o r l d \n
0000014
It seems that users cannot remount their drives in binmode but only
subdirectories.
cygwin version is 1.3.10-1
