I was suggesting my fstab as a complete replacement for yours.
Obviously I cannot be certain it's a complete replacement, since I'm
going off of cygcheck's interpretation of the mount table, not a copy of
your actual fstab file.
That said, a roached Cygwin fstab file is much easier to recover from
than, say, one on a Linux box. You should feel free to experiment.

Replacing your line with mine also effectively replaces all the
per-drive mounts you have.
