How can I list, create and destroy sessions?
I'm talking about Windows sessions. Cygwin just has a shared memory shared between all processes of a user session. That's where the mount points are stored. Shared memory is not persistent and destroyed (by Windows) as soon as the last process having a HANDLE on that shared memory exits. > > Our mount(1) doesn't support remount, so you have to unmount and mount > > again.
