Good morning!

----

Does Cygwin have a way to map a (NFS) home dir drive (H:) to
/home/myuser/, without resorting to POSIX-style softlinks ([1]) ?

Example:
1. Home dir mounted on drive H: via NFS
2. How do I now map H: to /home/myuser/ ?

For example Linux and Solaris use the automounter to mount NFS dirs
directly to /home/myuser/ , and Solaris uses lofs (loopback
filesystem) to mount a local users home dir /export/home/myuser/. Does
Cygwin have a similar facility for drives represented by drive letters
(e.g. H: [2]) ?

[1]=Soft-links should be avoided because they cause confusion/breakage
if scripts try to use the physical path (e.g. realpath(1))
[2]=And yes, I am not a Windows guru, and likely use the wrong
terms/vocabulary here... ;-((

MfG,
Roland Mainz
