Any way to mount to a "real" drive instead of a network drive?

[proviste]

For example to be able to setup a network share

Example:

sshfs -o "idmap=none,no_readahead,allow_other,reconnect,ServerAliveInterval=15,ServerAliveCountMax=5,noatime,auto 0 0" [email protected]:/home/user Y:

Mounts a physical drive provided by FUSE.

It would be very useful to be able to mount it as a fake hard disk. Some programs behave differently if they think it's a network drive. Doing extra read checks, and strange copy-rename stuff, pretending to be a file system. This "Local Disk - FUSE" is not enough to convince these programs that it's a local hard disk. I have no idea what information windows provides programs though, and how much of that can be chosen by the mounting process.

Yes I've seen programs behave strangely when they detect they're writing to a network share.

Have you tried using a symlink?
