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.

More details would be nice, so I can determine if it is normal behavior or if I need to patch df. I have Cygwin installed in pretty much the default way, c:\cygwin, etc. When I want to see how full my c: drive is I run df . from any directory that's on my c: drive - typically my home directory. The symptom is that my computer goes clackity clackity clackity clack, and the floppy access light comes on. Same thing happens if I do things like df /home/tom, df /cygdrive/c, or even df /cygdrive/z, with Z: being a mapped network drive. df is /usr/bin/df; not an alias. I was running coreutils 5.2.1-5. After I saw your message, I upgraded to 5.3.0-2 but it still happens. There was some discussion about this last year; mostly with regards to the same symptoms with find (which have been fixed). - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
