The mount command shows you what directories are mounted as what.

The CYGWIN=binmode setting has no effect on ">" redirection
under the bash or ash shell (or any shell for that matter).
It will only effect ">" redirection when used directly from the
windows command shell, e.g.
c:\>ls > foo
The reason for this is that when you use "> foo" in bash or ash,
cygwin resolves foo to the current directory and can determine if the
directory is mounted binmode (-b) or not.
When you use redirection outside of the cygwin environment, the only thing
that cygwin knows about its standard output is that it is a disk file. It
has no idea where the file 'foo' lives.

Hopefully that explains it. If it doesn't then please send email
to the cygwin list, not to me personally.
