I agree that it makes a lot of sense to be consistent.
But hey, the installer, by default creates the filesystem '/export/home'
and the name seems to suggest that that is the place to house home
directories.
Is that not the intent of that filesystem? Am I just confused? ;)
It is traditionally that is for the actual local filesystem store of the
home directories on the NFS server. It is just our installer isn't
aware of what the system is used for. It also dates back to an era when
many people had their home dir locally on their workstation but shared
them out.
See my other post for a proposal to bring us into a more modern era -
basically turn off /home as an automount point when only using local
files for nsswitch.conf's automount database.
