Yes, I understood that if you are using /dev in this way that it is

when you consider the pure UNIX sense of what /dev is supposed to be for.
i.e. the Unix purist view. Hey I understand where you're coming from but
I'm not a purist.
I just wouldn't recommend this for the general cygwin populace. If we
ever start doing something like udev on cygwin you're going to
have some problems.
Yes this is the risk. I understand it.
/mnt makes a little more sense for an alternate location, IMO.
Yes this is a quick alternative though I tend to thing of mounts as
mounting of file systems from other machines. I guess I just think "Well
of course any disk/file system that's present should be mounted already"
so to me /mnt is for other, not normally mounted file systems from other
machines or perhaps floppy/USB, etc.
Yes to each his own....
