Role?  The automatism is to use binary mode unless /etc/fstab says
something else.  Other than that, why would you do that at all?
If you need textmode for something, do it under some mount point
of your own.  There's no good reason to use textmode for the system
directories, unless Cygwin is too fast on your machine.
