I have attached an external disc, which appears on Windows as drive f:

Right-clicking on it displays a context menu showing (among other

Git Bash. The first two work properly on that drive.
However, the git bash does not. Not even the one that is run from the icon:

$ cd f:
sh.exe": cd: f:: No such file or directory


Is there any way to make it access drive f?

Try using the environment variable MSYS_WATCH_FSTAB=YesPlease.

We have an optimization in msys that does not update the virtually
mounted folders and makes msys executable startups faster. I had similar
issues with mounted disk images.

The other alternative: After having the external disc mounted logout and
login again that AFAIR that should also help.
