Hello
That does it. Here is my setup.
/cygwin is where cygnus is installed.
/progs is where I have a large filesystem I want to backup with tar.
mkdir /progs
mount c:/progs /progs
and then I can tar it.
Any particular reason why I can't mount a filesystem in /home?
i.e., cd /home/davis
mkdir progs
mount c:/progs /progs
The mount says, "mount: progs: Invalid argument
