I've been using Cygwin loyally for almost 5 years now, and throughout that time 
have found the win-mounts column invaluable to find a drive or USB's /dev/sdX 
mapping, by doing cat /proc/partitions. I haven't run that command in a while, 
however, and today I realised that this functionality no longer seems to work - 
no Windows drive mapping information displays in the win-mounts column, so now 
I'm unable to determine which drive /dev/sdX corresponds to. See 
here<https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/379346/216754> for another user who also 
found this functionality no longer worked for them, which was my impetus in 
reporting this bug. That user is on Windows XP, and I'm on Windows 7. Maybe 
some testing could be done to confirm whether this problem is limited to those 
systems, or whether this really is a Cygwin-wide bug introduced in the last 
year or so.

Thanks,
Hashim
