Description

To mount the same remote path on different drive, it only works mounting from the command line using sshfs with a different VolumePrefix.
The default value in sshfs-win.c is --VolumePrefix=/sshfs/user@host/path.
I changed the path by the drive letter or something random and it worked.
My setup:
Windows 7 x64
WinFsp 2018.2 B1
SSHFS-Win v2.7.17334

Research direction

Start in sshfs-win.c at the default --VolumePrefix=/sshfs/user@host/path setting and compare it with the command-line behavior using a different VolumePrefix. Reproduce the Windows drive-mount scenario described in the issue; done means the same remote path can be mounted on different drives without manually changing the prefix.
