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)
