I've been using bind mounts to provide alternative paths into the same file system.
//server/some/directory /mnt/server-share none binary 0 0 #bind mounts /mnt/server-share/some/other/directory /mnt/task1 none, binary,bind That works well until I try to add another such bind mount and activate it via 'mount -a' without starting a new Cygwin session. Cygwin tries to create a mount to the underlying local directory of /mnt/task1 instead of binding, which doesn't work of course. I can manually mount the directory the way I want if I simply use the full external path (that's what happens anyway if I restart the session). Is there something wrong with the way bind mounts currently work or should I just not use them and mount the same external share multiple times (that is the result anyway)?
