Seems overly complicated for me. My current fstab looks like this:
# /etc/fstab
#
# This file is read once by the first process in a Cygwin process tree.
# To pick up changes, restart all Cygwin processes. For a description
# see https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table
# Device- Mount- FS-type Options Ignored
# name point
# ------------- --------------- ---------------
----------------------- --------------------
C:/Users /home ntfs binary,posix=1,user 0 0
none / cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0
If I remember correctly the cygdrive thing is what automatically maps
all my C:. D:, E:, etc drives to /C, /D, E and so on.
The magic with posix is described here:
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table
posix=0 - Switch off case sensitivity for paths under this mount point
(default for the cygdrive prefix).
posix=1 - Switch on case sensitivity for paths under this mount point
(default for all other mount points).
