OK thanks!

After looking at the mount command, I have one more question: how do I
make it stick between sessions? (Where is the permanent mount table, or
where is a startup script where I can issue the mount when I start
cygwin?)

That's true but please do *not* use regtool to manipulate the mount
table.  The mount command already has sufficient functionality to save a
copy of itself, wipe out existing mounts, and save a new copy.  There's
no reason to use the regtool screwdriver to pry mount table nails.  Use
the mount hammer for that.

This is especially true given that the format of some mount table values
may change in 1.3.14.
