Hi,

I'm a newbie in Cygwin and Linux. I tried to mount a local folder (C:\D) to /d in Cygwin. I have create a directory named d in the root. Then, I called the following command:
mount c:\d /d
The system reported "mount /d: Invalid argument".

Could someone help me out of this?

Thank you.

Added after 3 minutes:

I've solved this problem.

The error message is misleading. Bash interprets single backslashes as
a quoting character.

When I tried "mount c:/d /d", then it's OK.
