I've always used Cygwin's fstab /cygdrive default but I'm growing tired of always typing it out;
msys's simple "/a" "/c" "/d" prefix for drive letters always seemed closer to home while on a
Windows machine.
The only problem I've encountered is a borked ls display when an actual folder "a", "b", etc.,
appears in the Cygwin root folder and the inability to enumerate drive with "ls /cygdrive".
Are there any other caveats to consider?
Also, it would be nice if doing a directory list on /cygdrive was a hard-coded operation, to
preserve this functionality.
Well, I just put in a cygwin symlink of /c to /cygdrive/c and so on for each drive
I care about. Maybe that would work for you ...
