As I put all my files starting at c:/home/sva, I'd then to mount
C: = /
right?
So that my home directory under Ubuntu (/home/sva) is the same under Cygwin
(/home/sva = C:/home/sva).
Though, the following did not succeed:
#+begin_src sh
$ mount C: / -o binary
mount: warning: couldn't determine mount type.
mount: /: Operation not permitted
#+end_src
Is this operation really not permitted?
Best regards,
Seb
