Hmm, now I'm getting (reproducable) another message on drives w/o
medium:

/home/corinna[101]$ ll /cygdrive
ls: /cygdrive/a: Not a directory
ls: /cygdrive/p: Not a directory
ls: /cygdrive/r: Not a directory
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   18 corinna  root            0 Jan  1  1980 c
drwxrwxrwx    8 root     root            0 Nov 21 19:11 d
drwxr-xr-x    8 root     root            0 Nov 22 20:24 e

My patch did it nicer ;-)
