I've recently augmented the /cygdrive abilities of cygwin. It is now possible to do this:
bash$ ls /cygdrive a c d or even this: bash$ cd /cygdrive bash$ ls a c d Command completion from shells should also work. Currently all of the above is short-circuited if your cygdrive is set to '/', however. Cygwin currently assumes that it has complete control of the directory name which is being used as a cygdrive prefix and that is obviously not true if you have changed your cygdrive prefix to '/'. This functionality is available in the latest snapshot.
