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?
