It basically comes down to user preference and the type of data. For that much data though, served via NFS, I would probably mount the data under /export. This is only personal opinion, and I could very well be trashing some time honored UNIX tradition. So I would also suggest picking up "UNIX System Administration" from O'Reilly. You can, of course, change the mount point in the future. You are not stuck with only one option. Davidhome | help
