   The Cygwin Mount Table. Description of supported keys.
 
+Recent version of Win 10 exposes WSL distros via P9 network protocol. As Cygwin supports UNC paths
+it is possible to add mount points (don't forget to create directories like ``/wsl/debian``!)::
+
+  //wsl$/debian /wsl/debian  ntfs binary,noacl,posix=0 0 0
+  //wsl$/ubuntu /wsl/ubuntu  ntfs binary,noacl,posix=0 0 0
+  //wsl$/alpine /wsl/alpine  ntfs binary,noacl,posix=0 0 0
