You should probably prefer the SUA local drive path prefix, for two
reasons.  The /dev/fs path is hardcoded in SUA, while you can easily set
the cygdrive prefix to whatever you want in Cygwin, including /dev/fs.
And the drive letter must be uppercase in SUA while it can be upper-
or lowercase in Cygwin.  So

  $ cd /dev/fs/C

works in SUA and in Cygwin.
