In my notebook under Vista if I use bash on mi physical HD (it is divided in C:, F:, H:) it works, if I try to open a bash console on an external HD (or USB or SD memories) and also on network shared drives it doesn't work. Have I configuration problems? I installed last msys git distribution and I choose to use bash shell also in Win to have the same commands on both linux and win.

Sometimes I have a similar problem. What do you mean by "opening a bash console on an external HD"? Do you right-click a folder and then "Git bash (here)"? I don't use that feature but I always start the bash with its regular icon (so my answer may probably not help you). It then starts in my $HOME and I change to the external HD (say X:) like so: $ cd /x/foo I noticed the following: When the ext. HD is attached/mounted *before* I start the bash, then it works. But if I have a running bash and then mount the drive, I cannot cd to it. "No such path" or sth. It seems, that bash builds a list of available drives only at startup. Might that be your problem? If so, then close all bashs and re-open them after mounting the devices. HTH, Dirk ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

That's what I've observed. To be honest, I'm one of the lazy guys and didn't really understand the impact of setting NO_FSTAB_THREAD at first glance. As I understood, setting it means "mounting drives afterwards works, but slows things down" and not setting it means the opposite. Meanwhile I'm familiar with re-starting my git-bash in case (that's not too bad for me). I almost never run git commands from cmd.exe because cmd.exe is rubbish. But, again, thanx for the help; now I know how to fine-tune the behaviour if I wish. Cheers, Dirk ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
