Unfortunately, no, this won't work. Doubly unfortunately, I think
that the workaround I proposed will only work in conjunction with
the drive that cygwin is installed on... in other words, if cygwin
is installed under c:/cygwin, then:
$ mkdir -p /exports/c
$ mount -f -s -b c:/ /exports/c
$ echo "/exports/c (ro,all_squash)" >> /etc/exports
...definitely works. Trying the same workaround to export another
drive (/cygdrive/d, etc.) will *not* work, even if mountd and nfsd
are started with the --re-export flag.
What bugs me is that if you export '/', then a client can mount that
export and access local drives (c,d,etc.) through /cygdrive without
any problems.
