Ouch. Don't do that. This is not supported. The mount options for cygdrive drives is specified in the cygdrive mount point. The default settings if the cygdrive entry is not present in /etc/fstab is none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0 0 0 You can only change the options for all cygdrives at once by adding or changing a cygdrive entry to /etc/fstab. If you need to have different setting, create distinct POSIX pathnames for the drive, like you did here: > V: /v netapp text 0 0 I will change the documentation so that this is described in a bit more detail.
