Unable to mount volumes on Windows

d : \Program Files (x86)\Git\workspace
See 'c:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker.exe run --help'.
bash.exe"-3.1$ docker run --help

Take note C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Git is where bash is so workspace is being appended to my bash location.

The temporary fix on Windows is avoid using "$(pwd)" and provide absolute paths with an extra / in front of them.

docker run --rm -it -v //path/to/your/workspace:/workspace denisura/phpmd

@austin881 Thanks for the suggestion.

@bweston92 Does that help? Unfortunately this is more of a docker issue. I will pass it on to the rest of the Docker team. The Toolbox worked as an installer to get Docker started.

Thanks!

@austin881 double-slash work around seems incomplete:
no error report when running docker run, however files in my workspace disappear in workspace in container

test code:

mkdir -p /c/testdir
cd /c/testdir
touch hello.txt
docker run -it -v //c/testdir:/home/testdir ubuntu bash
cd /home/testdir
ls

no hello.txt file exists

touch world.txt
exit
ls

no world.txt found!
