I applied a patch to cygpath which now prefers the \\.\X: DOS device
name over any other device name for harddisks. In my case, the output
is now:
$ for F in $(gawk '{if (FNR > 2) print "/dev/" $4;}' /proc/partitions) ; do
echo "$F $(./cygpath -w $F)" ; done
/dev/sda \\.\PhysicalDrive0
/dev/sda1 \\.\Volume{781f8bd9-7d0d-11de-8012-806e6f6e6963}
/dev/sda2 \\.\C:
/dev/sda3 \\.\D:
/dev/sda1 is not available under a drive letter, so that's fine.
