   I mount the entire Android linux file system to Windows as a drive every   
   day - but - I don't use the Windows SUBST command to do that linux mount.

   This is what I use every day on Windows 10(via a batch script, of course):   
    net use I: \\192.168.0.2@8000\DavWWWRoot /USER:foo bar   
    net use X: \\192.168.0.2@9000\DavWWWRoot   
   Which is nicely summarized for you in this set of my own screenshots.   
       
      
   I add a few Win10 tricks to make external sd card syspath easier since you   
   often use the Android linux command line to operate Android over Windows.   
       
      
   And, of course, I set the USB (or Wi-Fi) file transfer for the connection.   
       
      
   Here are just some representative examples of how Android === Windows/Linux   
     Android mounted   
     Starting WebDAV servers   
     Mount Android system filesys   
     Look at /etc/resolv.conf   
     Can use the command line   
     Look at the dnsproxy file   
     Both sdcards mounted   
     Mount the entire filesystem   
     Each sdcard is a drive letter   
     FOSS general purpose solution   
     Free Android WebDAV servers   
     Mount sdcards read & write   
     As Windows drive letters   
     Over Wi-Fi on your home LAN   
     Mirroring Android on Windows   
     A third free WebDAV server   
      
   Once set up correctly, the Android file system is just a drive on Windows.   
     Android mnt as drive letter   
   Such that you can slide APKs from Windows and they auto-install on Android.   
     Drag APK from Windows   
      
   The Windows (or Linux) keyboard, mouse, clipboard and sound cards all work   
   perfectly with Android mirrored onto your PC monitor, using FOSS software.   
     powershell hide-console trick   
      
   One question I have of the linux experts is WHY, without being rooted, when   
   I mount the Android internal sdcard onto Windows, I can read most of the   
   Android root filesystem, and write to some of the root filesystem, but not   
   all?    
      
   What's the difference?
