Is there a way to create a symlink of a directory on a local

No, not across volumes.

Huh? I must be misunderstanding what you mean here:


/ $ df .
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
C:\cygwin            151974868 122610860  29364008  81% /
/ $ cd /cygdrive/c
/cygdrive/c $ df .
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
c:                   151974868 122610860  29364008  81% /cygdrive/c
/cygdrive/c $ ln -s /cygdrive/e link-to-e-drive
/cygdrive/c $ cd link-to-e-drive
/cygdrive/c/link-to-e-drive $ df .
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on

Ooooh. This is nice. How does Cygiwn keep track of this link? Does it survive a reboot?
