Thanks. I've done that. Presumably it solves my problem, though I haven't yet tried an external backup. Nothing seems changed as viewed from within Cygwin, and ssh still works.
You're not remounting the Cygwin root.
I'm confused by this statement. Isn't /cygdrive/c/cygwin/ the same as Cygwin root? Won't it inherit the noacl property?
