This is not a general problem, just in your installation. Did you use a
snapshot in a 1.5 environment? If so, you have to create your
/etc/fstab files manually, or, you have to fetch the base-cygwin package
from the release-2 area to create /etc/fstab and /etc/fstab.d/$USER from
your current mount points in the registry. When installing from scratch
from the release-2 area, you get the package for free.

I don't have hummingbird NFS installed, just Microsoft's NFS from SFU
resp. the default NFS clients built in to Vista and 2008. Works fine
for me. There's code in Cygwin 1.7 to work with these NFS clients, see
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2008-05/msg00029.html I have no
idea how hummingbird NFS works. If you want support for this NFS
client, Cygwin needs code from you. For a start, please build the
attached source code and run it with the path to the drive, like this:
$ gcc -g -o GetVolInfo GetVolInfo.c -lntdll
$ ./GetVolInfo /cygdrive/x
or
$ GetVolInfo x:/
Paste the output in your reply.

fstab problem, probably. Works for me.

Files with trailing dots (or spaces) are not supported by native Windows
apps and, FWIW, by Cygwin 1.5. Since Cygwin 1.7 uses native NT
functions for file access exclusively, this restriction doesn't apply to
1.7 anymore. I can't reproduce any problems with 1.7 with such files,
and the 1.5 behaviour is normal and expected sice the underlying Win32
functions can't handle these files. How and what should have
mysteriously renamed the file in the first place beats me.

Sorry, I have some doubts. Neither native Win32 apps, nor Cygwin 1.5
apps can access these files since the trailing dots and spaces
restriction is implied by the Win32 layer. Is that a file on the NFS
share? If so, there's a chance that the hummingbird NFS client is doing
some translations for the sake of Win32 apps, but that's not under
Cygwin's control. Using Cygwin 1.7 I can create and manipulate these
files fine, on local NTFS file systems as well as on NFS shares (using
the MS client). With 1.5 or native apps, no chance.
