When I add hard drive space to my computer i make a directory on the root file system named "space0" (as you can guess it increments). I put my installation of World of Warcraft in the /wow directory, and if I want to make a directory in my home directory that holds stuff I compiled from source, I use a hacker handle as the dir name.

What naming convention do you use?

How do you distinguish between volumes 100, 100, 100 and 100 though?

When I set up my NAS I called the zpool 'pool' :geno:


It is kinda fun to tell the computer to scrub the pool, though
