Me? I put things on my stuff in:
/exports/$sharename0
$sharename1
$sharename2
$sharename3
$sharename4
Where the nfs, samba, shfs, afs, etc... share them all with a same name
I guess I am non-FHS compliant that way. Though, I am consistent that
way. It grew out of early problems complying with FHS years ago... its a
bad habit, but a livable bad habit
