The admin may have a valid reason for specifying the prefix (if they
don't want the subdirectory in the root, for example).
They get to specify the prefix, from which we construct the final string
by adding the instance/host/clone# number, and using that relative to
the mountpoint.
Quite simple, really. ;-)
BTW, while we're at it - bonus points for implementing a
clone-filesystem check which _tries to read from the other node's files_
and fails if the data is found to be sufficiently outdated when it
shouldn't. But just maybe I'm going over the top here.
It's amazing how much time can be spent painting bikesheds.
