Forest Hale submitted a couple of bugs relating to this (17619 and 17618). The problem is that Wine correctly detects a network share (in this case NFS on /home) but some applications (e.g. Steam) refuse to install on network drives, so he wanted to override it with winecfg.
We probably shouldn't return network type for NFS, it's not really a network share in the Windows sense.
Overriding doesn't work, due to what I believe is simply an omission in define_unix_drive where it doesn't handle the case of DRIVE_FIXED to DEVICE_HARDDISK_VOL mapping.
It's not simply an omission, this was deliberate; but looking at the code some more, it looks like it may no longer be necessary now that the other parts of mountmgr seem to be handling this case correctly. I'll need to retest this.
