Hmm, now I'm getting (reproducable) another message on drives w/o
medium:
/home/corinna[101]$ ll /cygdrive
ls: /cygdrive/a: Not a directory
ls: /cygdrive/p: Not a directory
ls: /cygdrive/r: Not a directory
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 18 corinna root 0 Jan 1 1980 c
drwxrwxrwx 8 root root 0 Nov 21 19:11 d
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 0 Nov 22 20:24 e
