Hi,
I was trying to get the "execvp: argument list too long" error to go
away while using make on cygwin, and followed the instructions mentioned
in several posts such as this one:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-05/msg00358.html
Accordingly, I did this in my cygwin bash shell:
mount -X -b -f c:/cygwin/bin /usr/bin
mount -X -b -f c:/cygwin/bin /bin
mount -x -b -f c:/cygwin/bin/strace.exe /usr/bin/strace.exe
mount -x -b -f c:/cygwin/bin/strace.exe /bin/strace.exe
mount -x -b -f c:/cygwin/bin/cygcheck.exe /usr/bin/cygcheck.exe
mount -x -b -f c:/cygwin/bin/cygcheck.exe /bin/cygcheck.exe
mount -x -b -f c:/cygwin/bin/strace.exe /usr/bin/strace
mount -x -b -f c:/cygwin/bin/strace.exe /bin/strace
mount -x -b -f c:/cygwin/bin/cygcheck.exe /usr/bin/cygcheck
mount -x -b -f c:/cygwin/bin/cygcheck.exe /bin/cygcheck
thinking that they would be temporary as mentioned in some emails on the
list. Turns out they are temporary on cygwin 1.7 but not on the older
version which I'm using. I rebooted the machine yet "mount" showed the
results of above.
How to I undo the above and get back the original mount state? umount
does not have the complementary options.
Thanks,
saurabh
