- Subject: [bug?] binary mount point option in setup
Hi,
I apear to have found a bug in cygwins setup program 2.125.2.10
Description:
When installing as administrator on XP if you select install for
everyone and set the default file format to be unix then the /cygdrive
mount point will be binary mode when running as the administrator user.
mounts are stored in HLKM, however /cygdrive mounts and defaults are
stored in HKCU
(see below.)
So when a user (not administrator) comes to use the cygwin tools
/cygdrive is mounted text not binary.
Why does cygwin store the /cygdrive default in HKCU and not HKLM when
installing as multiuser?
why not store the info in HKLM along with the other mount options?
Also I couldn't find a way to change the options without running setup
or regedit again.
full drives can be changed with the mount command but /cygdrive only?
