How can I stop cygwin updating ACL in windows

I'm using cygwin version 2.11.2, When creating a directory through my code with rsync , cygwin setting ACL which windows consider as "NULL SID".

I've gone through the help, tried updating /etc/fstab with "noacl" followed by reboot but no luck.

Is there any alternate way I can make cygwin not to update ACL at all or any way to guide cywin to update a proper ACL.

Cygwin is using proper ACLs, see for details

assuming you are not interested in Cygwin POSIX permissions in some area of your disk, like /cygdrive you can use the option noacl in etc/fstab/
