It's just a convention. Filesystems to be exported live under /export,
and are frequently automounted under /net/{hostname} or /home/{hostname}
depending on their intended purpose.
You don't have to arrange things like that, just as you don't have to
install ports under /usr/local. ie. you'ld have to have a pretty
good reason to go against the convention.
In fact, given that FreeBSD doesn't seem to have a native convention on
how exported filesystems are laid out (no mention in hier(7), no default
/etc/exports file), it would make sense to adopt the Solaris/Linux style =
where
feasible. Mount points etc. aren't going to work exactly the same due to=
Solaris/Linux preferentially using autofs and FreeBSD using amd(8) (yes, =
I
know there has been some progress on autofs under FreeBSD, but it's not 1=
00%
yet[*]), but from a user perspective it should all work the same.
Cheers,
Matthew
