I also tried
mkdir nfspool
/usr/bin/mount '//66.9.20.44@NFS@2049/nfspool' $PWD/nfspool
This is the form of the command given in example 3.12 in the man page,
so should not be hard to discover.
of cource.
that succeeded, but a cd nfspool then fails.
I think I found the issue;
The /usr/bin/mount and cd works if $PWD is on NTFS, but fails if $PWD
is on SMB or NFS.
Is this a Cygwin bug?
You started with:
/usr/bin/mount with UNC path does not work on Cygwin 3.7 (todays version).
... so are you claiming that this is a regression in 3.7?
Or have you not tested with 3.6?
Testcase:
After the cd nfspool do a cygwin -w "$PWD"
In my case this reports the path of the base filesystem and not the
UNC path passed to /usr/bin/mount.
Can you show the output of 'mount' at this point in time?
