-When you upgrade an existing older Cygwin installation to Cygwin 1.7, your old

-are read by a script and the /etc/fstab file is generated from these entries.
-No such automatism exists for the user mount points formerly stored in the
-HKEY_CURRENT_USER branch of the registry. There's a bash script for your
