s/driver/file server/ there doesn't need to be any hardware involved. i don't understand what's special about such a reference. the only difference between this and /somepath/blah-blah is that in the latter case, the referenced element has first become part of the namespace. this is a lot like the difference between a variable and an expression in c. could you explain why you think this is special? - erik
