Ouch.  Don't do that.  This is not supported.  The mount options for
cygdrive drives is specified in the cygdrive mount point.  The default
settings if the cygdrive entry is not present in /etc/fstab is

  none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0 0 0
  
You can only change the options for all cygdrives at once by adding or
changing a cygdrive entry to /etc/fstab.  If you need to have different
setting, create distinct POSIX pathnames for the drive, like you did
here:

> V: /v netapp text 0 0 

I will change the documentation so that this is described in a bit more
detail.
