Currently, I see two:

in "directio" description:
Note that direct_io_ allows write operations larger than page size to 
be sent to the server.

in "mapchars" description:
I think it should not read "Windows's POSIX emulation" but
"Windows' POSIX emulation". If the word already ends in s, then no s 
follows the apostrophe, I think.


While looking at the mapchar documentation, I just remember a 
discussion about POSIX filename characters at:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-12/msg00164.html

In short, this is about to even map 0x01-0x1F to 0xF001-0xF01F, and 
that the special chars are mapped differently by Windows SFU and SFM.

So maybe the manual should mention how the used sfu mapping is done, 
i.e. by adding 0xF000 to the special char ascii value,
and the mapping should be enhanced by the 31 ascii control chars.
