When you upgrade an existing older Cygwin installation to Cygwin 1.7, your old
|
||||
system mount points (stored in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE branch of your registry)
|
||||
are read by a script and the /etc/fstab file is generated from these entries.
|
||||
No such automatism exists for the user mount points formerly stored in the
|
||||
HKEY_CURRENT_USER branch of the registry. There's a bash script for your
|
||||
convenience, which creates a user-specific /etc/fstab/${USER} file for you,
|
||||
called /bin/copy-user-registry-fstab. For more information on the new fstab
|
||||
files see the User's Guide at
