Yes - I believe I mentioned it above. Changing the prefix via mount does
not seem to survive between sessions, on this install.

I believe these boxes have been rebooted multiple times, and I've
double-checked the contents of /etc/fstab & they match what I posted
originally.
It's almost as if /etc/fstab isn't getting read at all...
WJFFM. Does it perform any differently if you have a mount file per user
in /etc/fstab.d? Can you find any clues in the mount table documentation?

Perhaps cygcheck output as specified by the link below would provide
some ideas.
