[gpfsug-discuss] filesets and mountpoint naming

My preferred naming convention is to use the cluster name or part of it
as the base directory for all GPFS mounts.

Example: Clustername=c1_eum would mean that:

/c1_eum/

would be the base directory for all Cluster c1_eum GPFSs

In case a second local cluster would exist its root mount point would
be /c2_eum/

Even in case of mounting remote clusters a naming collision is not very
likely.

BTW: For accessing the the final directories /.../scratch ... the user
should not rely on the mount points but on given variables provided.

CLS_HOME=/...
CLS_SCRATCH=/....
