Please run $ mount And you should see "binmode". Here are examples: D:\cygwin on / type system (binmode) D:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) D:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) E:\data\src on /usr/src type system (binmode) If not, you need to remount directories with "-b" option.
