Sure.

Test4 works, great.

Testing was done in /mnt/testperms with the following mounts in effect:

     $ mount
     //dlanserv/kramski$ on /mnt type cifs (binary,notexec,ihash,user)
     C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)
     C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)
     C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto)
     C:/bin32 on /usr/local/bin type ntfs (binary)
     C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
     D: on /cygdrive/d type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
     E: on /cygdrive/e type cifs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
     F: on /cygdrive/f type cifs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
     G: on /cygdrive/g type cifs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
     H: on /cygdrive/h type cifs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
     I: on /cygdrive/i type cifs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
     J: on /cygdrive/j type cifs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
     O: on /cygdrive/o type cifs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
     P: on /cygdrive/p type cifs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
     R: on /cygdrive/r type cifs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
     S: on /cygdrive/s type cifs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
     T: on /cygdrive/t type cifs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)

As you see, I have quite a lot of network drives, so I'm considering 
putting the ihash option globally to the uncommented /cygdrive 
mountpoint in /etc/fstab to cure all drives altogether. Will that cause 
any disadvantages for the real hardware NTFS drives C: and D:? (Doesn't 
look so at a first glance.)

Please note the nice effect that ihashing /cygdrive/e also cures 
//dlanserv/KRAMSKI$, my Cygwin $HOME, which - apart from this testing - 
is not explicitly listed by mount. (My home share //dlanserv/KRAMSKI$ is 
mapped to E: on Windows).

Regards,
    Heinz
