I have had a modification to mount waiting in the wings for a while now
which foregos the use of the registry entirely but I can't convince
myself that, if I implement it, the mailing list won't be filled with
the moans of people who now have to do a "mount -a -t ntfs" (or
whatever) every time they reboot.
Any chance I can get a copy of this patch?
I was thinking about maybe porting the filesystem readers from grub to
cygwin, so that I can read my linux partition from cygwin.
