- If this is necessary (and I make no judgement on that), I suggest
- using a standard location. Under Solaris 2.1 (which I assume is
- consistent with SVr4 in general), this kind of stuff is in /etc/fs/XXX
- where XXX is the filesystem type. Things that don't need to be in
- /etc (and in Solaris most of this stuff is on /usr), are in
- /usr/lib/fs/XXX. At the moment /etc/fs/XXX seems to have only mount.
- /usr/lib/fs/XXX has different things for different file types, but
- mount, umount, share, unshare, fsck, mkfs, etc. are typical.
