So, realizing that this may have to do with cygwin trying to access some
mapped drive, and timing out, I tried to use 'umount /w', to remove a mount:
umount: /w: No such file or directory
/w is a user mount. umount --help should be instructive.
Ok, should've tried that before. But, in my defence, the output from
umount was kinda confusing. I would hope it would say "This is a user
mount. Use umount -u to remove this". And yeah, I know, patches
gracefully considered, just posting my opinion.
I don't really see why umount shouldn't try to remove it as a user-mount
and if it isn't, remove it as a system mount (if it can).
