If you use the 'mountvol' you a *local* root folder
mounted at some drive letter that can be maintained over
boots. is listed as a JUNCTION and treated by cygwin
as a regular dir.
For some reason the other type of directory hookup made
by "linkd" which also created a JUNKTION
vs. (mklink creating a SYMLINK or SYMLINKD) is shown
as a soft-pointer
