That doesn't work, for a couple of reasons.
- You can't override the /cygdrive path for a single drive. The
cygdrive prefix mount options will still rule.
- The mount options have to be separated by comma, not by space.
- If you read the doc under the aforementioned URL,m you'll notice that
"noumount" is not a valid mount option. It's just a fake option added
by `mount' to show that a certain mount point can't be unmounted. This
affects only the cydrive paths so far.
What you have to do is to use some entirely different path, commas
to separate the mount options, and drop the noumount option, like this:
Z: /my_z_drive dont_care binary,posix=0,user.noacl 0 0
Now you can access your drive via /my_z_drive. You also don't have to
reboot. It's sufficient to stop all Cygwin processes.
And for testing pourposes it's also sufficent to create just a
temporary user mount point using the mount(*) tool:
$ mount -f -o binary,posix=0,user.noacl Z: /my_z_drive
