When I first generated my 1.7 cygwin system, it created the System mount 
points for me.  In looking the documentations for mount, I can not find 
the necessary info to create a persistance system mount.  Anything I 
mount get taged as a "user" mount.  What's the secret.  I use the "-s" 
options, it gets flagged as invalid arg.  I tried:
    mount -f -s R: /r      DOESN'T WORK
    mount -f -o -s R: /r   DOESN'T WORK
    mount -f -o --system R: /r   SAME
    mount -f --system R: /r   SAME
    mount -f R: /r   WORKS, except as "user"

The documentation does not help much (man pages & web page).  Can 
someone tell me how to mount a FS as "system"?
