[ale] Where do you mount NFS storage?

[Chuck Payne]

I was taught that because it remote to do something like this

/mnt/remotevolume

The reasoning was so that everyone knows it is not a part of the system.
We would use that system for our users home directory since we were
controlled by IPA and we wanted to have the same home directory on each
system

/mnt/nas-datacenter1/home/

We had a second nas that we did a night back up too, which was good,
because we had a disk fail, so while I was working on it. I used a script
with pssh to update the hosts, this allow me work on that NAS while not
affecting my users.

I will say that MapR lookback-nfs since I want everything under /mapr, but
I am not sure that's my hadoop admin of the nfs client out of the box.

Only time I have ever mounted something /var/www or /srv  was when I used
iSCSI or HA Card to SAN that were present as local storage.
