[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi,
I installed the Gnuwin32 on my windows 2008 server and had problem
with *df*command.
The result of this command did not show on DOS prompt but if im going to
type the "df --help", it shows the help details.

*C:\Users\netd_adrian>df*
*df: cannot read table of mounted file systems: Invalid argument*

How to fix this error in Windows 2008 server?

Thanks,
Adrian Eusebio

That points to a porting problem in the Gnuwin32 project, so you should
take your complaint there.

Meanwhile, I highly recommend using the cygwin project (cygwin.com)
instead of Gnuwin32.  Cygwin's df works just fine on Windows 2008 Server
without any failure to find mounted file systems.
