Well if that is the case and / points to the wrong dir then I don't see
how you can be using Cygwin at all, so many things will be broken. To
get the POSIX path of the rootdir of the drive correponding to the CWD,
then you can use something like:
whatever="$(mount -p | tail -n1 | cut -f1 -d' ')$(cmd.exe /c "cd" \
| cut -b1 | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z')"
But I don't see how this is useful in the least, since by definition if
the mount table does not refelect reality then using POSIX paths for any
purpose is unreliable at best and a waste of time at worst, so finding
the POSIX path corresponding to the rootdir seems pointless. If you
want to update the mount table you need the win32 path, not the POSIX
path, and if the mount table has already been updated then this is much
simpler.
