I would like to access files under Q:\else. But (for example) ls ../../.. only ever attains \cygwin (and lower). I can use ls /cygdrive/q/else/ (and lower) but this means knowing the drive name (in this case Q:) I don't much want to change mount points which are currently conventionally defined. Is there a way I can get to Q:\else without knowing the drive name Q:? Thank you.
