df inconsistent with mount after adding a drive


$ mount
C:/cygwin64/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/cygwin64/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/cygwin64 on / type ntfs (binary,auto)
C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
D: on /cygdrive/d type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
F: on /cygdrive/f type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)

$ df
Filesystem     1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
C:/cygwin64    249698300 234618120  15080180  94% /

After adding an F drive a few months ago, df has been ignoring it.

Why is cygwin inconsistent like this - why does df by default ignore a
local drive which shows up in my mount table (or /etc/mtab, if you
prefer...)? I imagine it has something to do with slow external media,
but where is this information stored?

Where should I have looked (or what terms should I have searched on)
to find documentation on how to change my configuration to rectify
this issue (to make the default behavior of df include my f drive)?

(Thank you)
