Linux is not Cygwin.
The UNC paths only work in Cygwin because it has to ultimately pass them to Windows routines which will interpret them accordingly. Which is also why you can issue `ls C:\\` in cygwin, too. (And it will warn you about classic paths, as well.)
Solaris has autofs and it would in theory be possible to implement globel filesystem semantics if we permit autofs to be mounted to "//". ... would be an interesting finger exercise when I start to work on filesystems again. But I would first make WOFS usable again (The first COW filesystem and where Netapp stole it's patent ideas from).
