You can read and follow the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at the

Please pay particular attention to the part about attaching the output of
"cygcheck -svr" to your message (as an uncompressed text *attachment*).
This will contain enough information about your system to allow diagnosing
the problem.
If I had to take a WAG based on the meager information you've already
supplied, you probably have one or more of your mounts set up as user, not
system.
