<answer>
<para>
When you upgrade an existing older Cygwin installation to Cygwin 1.7, your old
system mount points (stored in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE branch of your registry)
are read by a script and the /etc/fstab file is generated from these entries.
No such automatism exists for the user mount points formerly stored in the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER branch of the registry. There's a bash script for your
convenience, which creates a user-specific /etc/fstab/${USER} file for you,
called /bin/copy-user-registry-fstab. For more information on the new fstab
files see the User's Guide at

The old user mount points in your HKEY_CURRENT_USER branch of the registry
are not used to generate <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>. If you want
to create a user specific <filename>/etc/fstab.d/${USER}</filename> file
from your old entries, there's a script available which does exactly
that for you, <filename>/bin/copy-user-registry-fstab</filename>. Just
start the script and it will create your user specific fstab file. Stop
all your Cygwin processes and restart them, and you can simply use your
old user mount points as before.
