The problem is that the mount table returns these automatic /cygdrive mounts. If there's a drive a available, a /cygdrive/a mount is returned. df checks all drives with statfs (or whatever), which results in accessing all drives mentioned in the moun table. Accessing a floppy drive always results in the "is a floppy in the drive" check in Windows.

No, actually it doesn't. df has nothing to do with findutils. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

This also fixes the manifestation of this problem with "df", which was actually bothering me more than "find".

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: findutils-20041227-1
I've made a new version of 'findutils' available for installation. This release is built from CVS so it is unreleased code. It does seem to fix the reported problem with '-printf "%P"'. Perhaps more importantly, this version includes a patch from Corinna Vinschen which should stop the dreaded floppy seek problem that was reported on the cygwin mailing list. For a brief description of this package, and a listing of the files it contains, see http://cygwin.com/packages/findutils . To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. findutils should be updated automatically, assuming that you are using a mirror which has grabbed the latest version from sourceware.org. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, please use the automated form at: http://cygwin.com/lists.html#subscribe-unsubscribe If this does not work, then look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
