Expand it (eg. $HOME -> /home/<user>), resolve all symlinks, then see which active mount points that falls into. The mount point with the longest name would then be the mount point/partition to use. Eg:
Drive path for C: $HOME/.wine/dosdrives/c: -> /home/user/.wine/dosdrives/c: -> /home/user/.wine/drive_c Available fs mount points: / -> /dev/sda3 /home -> /dev/sda4 /boot -> /dev/sda1 /mnt/cdrom -> /dev/hda1 Matching mount points that /home/user/.wine/drive_c exists in and are active: / /home Mount point with the longest name: /home Thus, C: is on /home, which is /dev/sda4.
