Perhaps something like this in section 3.1.2 in the table of options. posix=0 - Switch off case sensitivity for paths under this mount point. (default for /cygdrive) posix=1 - Switch on case sensitivity for paths under this mount point (default for all other mount points). Ans something like this in section 3.1.3. ...assuming the cygdrive mount options are binary,posix=0 (the defaults), then any file /cygdrive/x/file will be... Also, I understand your reasoning on posix=0 in the output of the mount command, except for "mount -m" output which for all other options suppresses the default options because it targets the fstab file. I don't think that "mount -m" should output posix=0 for the cygdrive prefix. Alternatively, one could make posix=1 the default for all mounts. :-) This might be (inconvenient now, but) less problem in the long run.
