Using Docker with -v “c:mydir:/mydir” or with -v “c:/mydir:/mydir” correctly mounts the directory C:mydir inside my container.

However, I once omitted the drive letter by mistake and did something like:

docker run -it –rm -v “/mydir:/mydir” bash

The files saved to /mydir inside the container didn’t appear in the Windows directory C:mydir. They reappear inside other Docker containers if I again mount “/mydir” without the drive letter. I cannot find these files anywhere on my hard drive.

So exactly which Windows directory got mounted inside the container when I omitted the drive letter in the example above?

Thanks…
