Re: mount woes

So I tried to redo my mount points.
I typed 'mount --reset', which produced no errors.
I typed 'mount d: /', and I got the message
mount failed: Device or resource busy
I thrashed around a bit, without being able to mount d: as /
I would prefer not using the registry editor if possible to fix this.

What you need is not mount -reset. You need umount:

bash$ umount /

bash$ mount c:\\ /

This will do it. ( In my computer, I mounted the root as following: bash$ mount e:\\gnuwin32\\b18 / )

Sincerely,

Subject: mount woes

I have a computer running windows nt 4.0 server, sp2.
I installed beta-18.
I wish to mount d: / since my NT partition is there, and I
installed beta-18 there.
I have read the readme.txt, which refers me to faq.txt.
I have read the faq.txt, which says:

When I type mount, I get what I assume the defaults are, which are:
Device           Directory           Type        Flags
\\.\tape1:       /dev/st1            native      no-mixed,text!=binary
\\.\tape0:       /dev/st0            native      no-mixed,text!=binary
\\.\b:           /dev/fd1            native      no-mixed,text!=binary
\\.\a:           /dev/fd0            native      no-mixed,text!=binary
c:               /                   native      no-mixed,text!=binary


Any ideas?
