I'm not sure I understand this. Should I remove all my fstab entries and
replace with the three lines shown above? Will I still be able to access the
drives with /c/foo/bar?
Furthermore: your example has this line:
none / cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0
while the original template had this line:
none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0
Which one is the correct one?
Here's how my fstab currently looks like:
# For a description of the file format, see the Users Guide
# http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table
# This is default anyway:
# none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0
c:/ /c fat auto 0 0
d:/ /d fat auto 0 0
h:/ /h fat auto 0 0
n:/ /n fat auto 0 0
t:/ /t fat auto 0 0

Nope. I just tried to hide some private information ;-)
