"man mount" you can see the help the mount. you can always find some
answers if you try "man your-command".
The first path is Windows path and second is the POSIX path. so using:
  mount -u -o managed "e:\test\dir1" /tmp/dir1

  if you want to umount, try "umount -u /tmp/dir1" but notice if you
umount a managed dir which contains the files, you must remount it
with "-f" option!

Your oringal problem can be solved by install cross-compiler not the
cygwin managed tips.

But if you do not totally understand the process and do not study
carefully about the cross-compiler It will be full of pains I think
:-)

If you read the post carefully, your solution will be crosstool-0.43,
and if you try that first, you don't even need to try "-o managed"
option on cygwin!

Good luck for the kernel adventure on cygwin

Andy
