Just tested this, I get the warning and /foo is created anyway and the 
directory is mounted there.

I do not get the second line (invalid agument).

Check if mount did its job.

I'm using ...

$ mount -V
mount (cygwin) 3.5.4
Mount filesystem utility

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-10.0-22631 XPS-8930 3.5.4-1.x86_64 2024-08-25 16:52 UTC x86_64 
Cygwin
