I'm setiing up a new system to run FreeBSD 10.2, and in the process of doing a ``manual'' initial partitioning of the main drive for this new system, I attempted to create a partition for which I specified a mount point of: /var/ftp/private (I want this to be a partition, all of its own, so that the actual maximum disk space for it will be hard-limited.) Anyway, I was shocked to see... after doing the create step... that this new partition is listed in the partitions list as having a mount point of just: /var/ftp which is definitely not what I wanted. Did I do something wrong, or is the install-time ``manual'' partitioning tool actually limiting the number of pathname components for the mount points to just two? If so, isn't that a bit... um... arbitrary?
