Hi Corinna Vinschen,

As I put all my files starting at c:/home/sva, I'd then to mount

    C: = /

right?

So that my home directory under Ubuntu (/home/sva) is the same under Cygwin
(/home/sva = C:/home/sva).

Though, the following did not succeed:

#+begin_src sh
$ mount C: / -o binary
mount: warning: couldn't determine mount type.
mount: /: Operation not permitted
#+end_src

Is this operation really not permitted?

Best regards,
  Seb
