I've always used Cygwin's fstab /cygdrive default but I'm growing tired of

msys's simple "/a" "/c" "/d" prefix for drive letters always seemed closer to

Windows machine.

The only problem I've encountered is a borked ls display when an actual folder "a", 
"b", etc.,
appears in the Cygwin root folder and the inability to enumerate drive with "ls 
/cygdrive".

Are there any other caveats to consider?

Also, it would be nice if doing a directory list on /cygdrive was a hard-coded 
operation, to
preserve this functionality.

Well, I just put in a cygwin symlink of /c to /cygdrive/c and so on for each 
drive
I care about.  Maybe that would work for you ...
