Right now it's only documented that WebDAV shares are supported:

- Expose WebDav shares, //tsclient (Microsoft Terminal Services)
  shares as well as //wsl$ (Plan 9 Network Provider) shares, i. e.,
  WSL installation root dirs.

We don't have any special code in Cygwin to support BeeGFS, it's
kind of a by-product of the WebDAV support.

How are the BeeGFS shares exposed to Windows clients?  Is a special
driver required, or are they just SMB shares?


Thanks,
Corinna
