I assume you've mounted your Z: drive or your J: drive to a directory in
your root directory, i. e. /z, isn't it ?
It's a good strategy to use a subdirectory like /net/ for those mount points
where the hardware may be unreachable, thus it would read /net/z, to avoid
performance problems with listing or completion in root directory.
