Can I do that only for USB drives whatever the windows letter refering to it (which changes from time to time...)? It seems, from http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table, that I must set a windows path as first parameter. Can I still use /cygdrive or do I need to create another mount point? Can I still have a difference between read, write, execute flags or will everything appear as 777? I have tried that in /etc/fstab: f:/ /mnt/f cygdrive noacl,nouser,binary,notexec g:/ /mnt/g cygdrive noacl,nouser,binary,notexec h:/ /mnt/h cygdrive noacl,nouser,binary,notexec i:/ /mnt/i cygdrive noacl,nouser,binary,notexec But when mount does not do anything in /mnt. (I have created the corresponding directories before).
