there must be unix paths names after the linux\fs. Lredir happens to
accept backslashes and is also case-insensitive, but indeed behaves
strangely at times - lowercase c: works, but uppercase C: does not!

just type
lredir c: linux\fs/mnt/c:
if you don't mind your c: drive being re-redirected.

lredir c: linux\fs\mnt\c:
also works
