Mounts are:
$ cat /proc/mounts
C:/cygwin/bin /usr/bin ntfs binary,auto 1 1
C:/cygwin/lib /usr/lib ntfs binary,auto 1 1
C:/cygwin / ntfs binary,auto 1 1
C: /cygdrive/c ntfs binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1
G: /cygdrive/g netapp binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1
L: /cygdrive/l netapp binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1
M: /cygdrive/m netapp binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1
O: /cygdrive/o netapp binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1
P: /cygdrive/p netapp binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1
T: /cygdrive/t netapp binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1
V: /cygdrive/v netapp binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1
W: /cygdrive/w netapp binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1
X: /cygdrive/x netapp binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1
Y: /cygdrive/y netapp binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1
Z: /cygdrive/z netapp binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1

I've read somewhere noacl should be given for these mounts. Could not 
find it, even with a fresh installed cygwin on a fresh windows.

Trying to reset acls to defaults for "C:\cygwin" gives lots of "access 
denied" errors, even if running as "Administrator" from an elevated 
shell. Tried both "cmd.exe" and "powershell.exe". Both did not allow to 
change acls.

Seems as if "C:\cygwin" has lost ownership an some acls. Any idea to get 
them back in place for the whole tree?
