Interesting effect.
I do have fstab entry
none / cygdrive noacl,binary,nouser,posix=0 0 0
And this is what I see with and without changes.

(3.2.0)
$ ls -ld /proc/cygdrive/{a..z} 2> /dev/null
drwxr-x--- 1 anrdaemon None 0 апр 22 23:12 /proc/cygdrive/c
drwxr-x--- 1 anrdaemon None 0 апр 30 18:05 /proc/cygdrive/d
drwxr-x--- 1 anrdaemon None 0 апр 22 23:11 /proc/cygdrive/e
drwxr-x--- 1 anrdaemon None 0 май 11 21:27 /proc/cygdrive/w
drwxr-x--- 1 anrdaemon None 0 фев 14  2018 /proc/cygdrive/y
drwxr-x--- 1 anrdaemon None 0 май 12 03:59 /proc/cygdrive/z

(snapshot)
$ ls -ld /proc/cygdrive/{a..z} 2> /dev/null
drwxr-x--- 1 anrdaemon None  0 апр 22 23:12 /proc/cygdrive/c
drwxr-x--- 1 anrdaemon None  0 апр 30 18:05 /proc/cygdrive/d
drwxr-x--- 1 anrdaemon None  0 апр 22 23:11 /proc/cygdrive/e
drwxr-x--- 1 anrdaemon None  0 май 11 21:27 /proc/cygdrive/w
lrwxrwxrwx 1 anrdaemon None 35 фев 14  2018 /proc/cygdrive/y -> 
//HOSTING64.DARKDRAGON.LAN/wwwroot/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 anrdaemon None 35 май 12 03:59 /proc/cygdrive/z -> 
//DAEMON1.DARKDRAGON.LAN/anrdaemon/

I think I like these changes.
Thank you very much.
