Re: More: [1.7] packaging problem? Both /usr/bin/ and /usr/lib/ are non-empty


Quoting Christopher Faylor <cgf-use-the-mailinglist-please@cygwin.com>:

We could add a "force" option to the "/" option
in /etc/fstab if we wanted to override the default behavior.


Isn't that just asking the users to send you support requests? There should be no method to change the root device. Too much depends on the value of / being sane and the only sanity is the parent directory of the directory containing the dll being root. There have been zero complaints from users wanting/needing to change where / is mounted.
