find not finding everything?

I notice that when I do a "find C:\\", or a find "/cygdrive/c",
I don't get files under my cygwin dir.  Why is that?  I could
imagine that it might judge them as separate file systems and might
exclude them if I used "find -xdev...", but seems that /cygdrive/c
or C:\\ should give whole disk....?

I could see find not following 'cygdrive' mounted file systems -- like
if I started at "/", I'd only get stuff under my cygwin dir but not
under the automounted cygdrive dirs....

Rationale?  Feature?  Bug?  just weirdness?  :-)
