I think the volume type will be DRIVE_REMOTE when the root is a UNC (the constants for the volume types are defined in WIndowsConstants). I'm not 100% sure if the server and share names should be compared with or without regard to case so I think we have a bit more exploration to do there. The DRIVE_FIXED case is clear, and it would be good to at least get that fixed as there has been C:\ vs. c:\ confusion in a number of bug reports.
