Bug Description
Hi, I'm making a file tracker and it would be of immense help to get UUID's recorded in the device slot of pathnames, with directory structure being listed only from the device. Then to have NAMESTRING add on the mount point so that no matter where an external drive gets mounted that pathname itself will always be the same and refer to the same file.
IMO this is the right thing to do.
The code for pathnames is a bit all over the place, and I don't know if there are any plans for restructuring it(IP/URL support in host) so I think it would probably be best if someone who knows the code base implements it instead of me making a right mess out of it.

That sound like something that should be handled by third party code.
