Using mount, I kind of know that /usr/bin/ is a ghost copy of /bin/, and /usr/lib/ is a ghost copy of /lib/ ...
but ... 1. I don't really understand why both of /usr/bin/ and /bin/ are put on the path in /etc/profile; 2. I can move to /usr/bin/ using cd /usr/bin <Enter>, but I can't see it using ls -al /usr <Enter>; 3. Time was when find / -name "ls*" <Enter> [for example] would find both /bin/ls.exe and the virtual /usr/bin/ls.exe; now it just finds /bin/ls.exe I'm not bothered by any of this - I don't understand enough about the reasons underlying the virtual existence of these two folders - but could one of the Cygwin honchos confirm that all of (1) to (3) are expected and "correct" behaviours?
