Managed mode is meant to be used from scratch on an empty directory, not a directory that already has contents and *not* for the kitchen sink. Put it this way: If you want to have access to those files, revert your mount-table. To anyone else who wishes to re-mount their entire Cygwin installation under managed mode, please make sure you seek advice from your therapist before doing so.
