Interesting, because I don't believe that my machines running 2.8 came
with a /space. I am 99.999% positive they where still using /export/home
in the default config (before I did a reinstall of the whole O/S that
definitely now has /export/home). Maybe different machines came configured
differently? I have a new SunFire to set up this week. I'll check to see
what is the default configuration on it tomorrow (when I plug it in for
the first time.
Anyway, I generally set up a separate file systems for "shared" stuff (and
downloaded packages to install). Generally using /u1 and /u2. I know it
may not be conventional, but it works for me.
