Are you using cygwin?  If so, this question is best discussed there,
on cygwin<AT>cygwin<DOT>com.  Cygwin currently has a known
design decision where getmntent does not mention drives mounted
under directories (which is only possible on newer Windows versions,
in the first place), because there is no quick way to make Windows
gather that information without blocking for a LOOONG time while
still being portable to older versions of Windows.

If you are using some other port of coreutils to the Windows
environment, ask the maintainers of that port.
