I find that the command
$ umount -A
intended to "remove all mounts" (see man) actually leaves straggling
$ mount -m
mount -s -b --change-cygdrive-prefix "/cygdrive"
$ mount -p
Prefix Type Flags
/cygdrive system binmode
and to make certain of getting what I want (all mounts removed) I
laboriously type
$ umount -uc ; umount -uA ; umount -sc ; umount -sA
Is the current behaviour of "umount -A" as intended, or, if not, please
could it be tweaked to be really really equivalent to the last command line
typed above?
Thank you.
Fergus
