df inconsistent with mount after adding a drive

After adding an F drive a few months ago, df has been ignoring it.

Why is cygwin inconsistent like this - why does df by default ignore a
local drive which shows up in my mount table (or /etc/mtab, if you
prefer...)? I imagine it has something to do with slow external media,
but where is this information stored?

Where should I have looked (or what terms should I have searched on)
to find documentation on how to change my configuration to rectify
this issue (to make the default behavior of df include my f drive)?

(Thank you)

Dar Miya,
please follow the guideline:

"Run cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out and include that file as an 
attachment in your report. Please do not compress or otherwise encode 
the output. Just attach it as a straight text file so that it can be 
easily viewed."


Can you also run
   /usr/lib/csih/getVolInfo /cygdrive/f
and provide the output ?
It is part of "csih" package

Regards
Marco
