When I look through the current (2015) version of the Linux File System Hierarchy Standards
https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/index.html
There isn't any mention about NFS storage.
Where do you mount NFS storage on your systems? Mainly interested in home users, but if a corporation does it, that would be good too.
Over the decades, I've seen NFS mounted in these locations:
* /nfs/{directory/project} - generic storage for different teams
* /u/{username} - HOME directories using autofs
* /u/u1/{username} - HOME directories using autofs for use sites where multiple mounts are needed because there are 200-10K users.
* /export/home/ ... for all HOME directories in a small site.
* /export/{directory/project}
* /d/{directory} - this is my current method so the path is short, but easily adding more storage with a directory/partition/volume can be identical on the NFS server and all the clients.
And assorted places, as needed, like /usr/local/. Much easier to have all appimages and x86-64 binaries in a single location with settings that are in /usr/local/etc/.
I mount static webfiles read-only to a web server under /var/www/{site-name}/pub/ (or static/).
Where do you mount NFS storage?
Also, which OS is this for? All my NFS today is Ubuntu for the clients and servers.
