[ale] [OT] Cygwin and mounted drives

[Jeff Layton]

Apologies for the late reply. I restarted my laptop and ran
Dokan SSHFS again and everything works fine now. I can
see drive N: in cygwin ("cd /cygwin/n"). Very strange but
I'm attributing that to Windows :)

I appreciate the comments and the help.

Thanks!
