And so I did (inside a VM, for safety): da...@wxp_pro ~ $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.1 wxp_pro 1.7.0(0.218/5/3) 2009-12-04 17:08 i686 Cygwin I haven't tested in deep the results, but I can report that /etc/fstab wasn't created: da...@wxp_pro ~ $ cat /etc/fstab cat: /etc/fstab: No such file or directory da...@wxp_pro ~ $ mount E:/CYGWIN/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto) E:/CYGWIN/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto) E:/CYGWIN on / type ntfs (binary,auto) C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) E: on /cygdrive/e type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) Z: on /cygdrive/z type vboxsharedfolderfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) Don't have user defined mount points, so copy-user-registry-fstab only generates an empty /etc/fstab.d directory.
