I have read all the relevant FAQs but can't figure this one out...
I have my cygwin installation mounted as binary.
from a dosprompt:
<cygdrive>:\cygwin>bin\mount
Device Directory Type Flags
<cygdrive>:\cygwin\bin /usr/bin system binmode
<cygdrive>:\cygwin\lib /usr/lib system binmode
<cygdrive>:\cygwin / system binmode
Straight vanilla cygwin.
Then I do:
<cygdrive>:\cygwin>md dossrc
<cygdrive>:\cygwin>bin\mount -t -s usr\local\src\gcc ./dossrc
bin/mount: ./dossrc: Invalid argument
Is it possible to do what I want to do here? Is it that I am trying to
remount an already binary mounted subdirectory as text mode??
What is the invalid argument? Is it a permission problem?
