You already have. This list is read by anyone actively working (on their free time, as volunteers) on cygwin source code improvements.

Sooner, if you help. The problem with open source is that unless someone else can reproduce your problem, and has an interest in providing a fix, it tends not to happen. On the other hand, the advantage with open source is that anyone can take an interest, look at the source code, and provide a fix, even you.

Well, the setup of running NT and FAT is not very common, and most cygwin developers don't do that; typically, the experience with FAT is how to make Win98 at least run cygwin.

Ah, but now that it is NTFS, your permissions have changed. Now what do "ls -ld / /tmp /cygdrive/c" and "getfacl / /tmp /cygdrive/c" display?
