Earnie, I only see one mount point in the cygcheck output and it is
correct:
E:\Cygwin / system binmode
I think that your advice will actually cause problems since your telling
him to set his root to e:\ which does not appear to be correct. If Gus
wants to try this, the correct way to do it is:
umount /
mount -f -b e:\ /
(from the Windows command-shell prompt)
I'm not familiar with this particular problem but it doesn't sound like
a mount problem to me.
