I have another one:

  $ for F in /dev/s* ; do echo "$F    $(cygpath -w $F)" ; done
  /dev/sda    \\.\PhysicalDrive0
  /dev/sda1    \\.\STORAGE#Volume#{781f8bd6-7d0d-11de-8012-806e6f6e6963}#0000000000100000#{53f5630d-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b}
  /dev/sda2    \\.\Volume{781f8bda-7d0d-11de-8012-806e6f6e6963}
  /dev/sda3    \\.\D:

but there are two problems.

Up to the current Cygwin 1.7.6 the info from /proc/partitions is
incomplete for non-privileged users.  I just checked in a patch to
Cygwin which allows the full partition info also for non-priv'ed users.

Apart from that, the output of cygpath -w for devices isn't overly
helpful yet.  I look into improving that a bit.
