Dear List, I have a little problem for which help would be awesome as I haven't been able to figure it out myself:
I have msys2 running on 3 computers, and I want it to be the same on all of them, in particular the file structure. I like msys using my Windows home directory, so I took what I believe to be the necessary steps: /etc/nsswitch.conf: # Begin /etc/nsswitch.conf passwd: files db group: files db db_enum: cache builtin db_home: windows # db_home: cygwin desc db_shell: cygwin desc db_gecos: cygwin desc # End /etc/nsswitch.conf /etc/fstab: # For a description of the file format, see the Users Guide # http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table # DO NOT REMOVE NEXT LINE. It remove cygdrive prefix from path none / cygdrive binary,posix=0,noacl,user 0 0 C:\Users /home So with these identical settings on 3 computers, two displays the home directory as I'd prefer: /home/username But, one, uses the systemdrive letter as root, and keeps Users as parent of the users: /c/Users/username If I try: cd /home/username I get: -bash: cd: /home/username: No such file or directory /usr/bin etc exist as expected, only the /home path insists on the drive letter... If I try: $ ls /c/usr I get: ls: cannot access '/c/usr': No such file or directory I've been poking around trying to find another place where that could be defined, but I didn't succeed. Anybody know the place(s)?
