No need for override. This is how I have it set (I prefer just /<drive_letter>
over/cygdrive/<...>):
none / cygdrive binary,posix=0,noacl 0 0
Thanks. I've done that. Presumably it solves my problem, though I
haven't yet tried an external backup. Nothing seems changed as viewed
from within Cygwin, and ssh still works.
You're not remounting the Cygwin root.
I'm confused by this statement. Isn't /cygdrive/c/cygwin/ the same as
Cygwin root? Won't it inherit the noacl property?
