Ok, while I had no success with volumeid and paths in any combinations, using this:


identifier:
networkshareid:?mountpath=e:/ArchivCF&mountpath=/media/carsten/Familienarchiv/ArchivCF

specificPath:
/


works for me very well, both under Windows and Linux.
*Not* working was moving "ArchivCF" to the specificPath:


identifier:
networkshareid:?mountpath=e:&mountpath=/media/carsten/Familienarchiv

specificPath:
/ArchivCF


Still untested is using more than two mountpaths, but I guess that expanding this is 
straightforward.

Now, the only problem left is that whenever I switch between Windows and Linux, a dialog 
about a change in the locale (Windows: "System", Linux: "utf-8") appears as described at

   - https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/digikam-users/2012-July/016522.html
This seems not to be a big issue, digiKam seems to work well when the change is 
confirmed (I didn't try yet e.g. using tags with special characters though).

Best regards,
Carsten
