I went and found the Cygwin web page that describes fstab. What it doesn't
say is how to use it. I have the following entry:
192.168.1.40:/Public /Public nfs noacl 0 0
But, when I enter "mount /Public" mount complains about not enough options and
shows me the help for command line usage. It doesn't appear to look in the
fstab file for the entry.
I did create /Public, so that path is there.
I tried it via the command line and it bitched about /Public.
I have no idea what I am doing wrong.
