I really like cygwin and have used it for a decade plus. Only in the last year or 18-months have I noticed significant permission issues that slow down my workflow. Copying these folders/files from one drive to another is a task I'd like to accomplish, but even more importantly I'd like to understand how to work with permissions in cygwin. As it is, I'm concerned I will have to leave cygwin behind and I don't want to do that.
