+A fair question.  Undecided.  Possibly I will stick to the device:path

Just sticking my $0.02 in here; I think that your system would be
much more useful if you stay compatible with the AmigaDOS file system,
at least to the extent that they can coexist on the same disk/
partition.  This way all files would be accessible from either system
(an important consideration I think).  I also think that AmigaDOS 
deals with named volumes better than *nix.  

Count me as another who would love to see V7 functionality on the Amiga
& couldn't care less whether internally it is really *nix in the
purist sense.
