-===== Mount Directories =====
+===== Mount Points =====
+A mount point is a directory on your system where the content in a remote directory appears on your workstation. The standard location for mount points on linux and unix systems us `/mnt`.
+IMPORTANT: To ensure that mount points continue to work and are still available (not clobbered) when LDAP mounts users home directories to `/home/username` we will avoid mounting file systems to users current home directories and use the standard convention of mounting file systems to the designated temporary mount point `/mnt` as described in the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard]] and illustrated in the examples below:
+Syntax
+(using all lower case)
+  /mnt/<user name>/< short host name >-< directory >
+==== Mount Point Examples ====
+  /mnt/asmith/storage-2-home
+  /mnt/asmith/storage-2-shared
+  /mnt/asmith/storage-2-datasets
+===== /etc/fuse.conf =====
+Ensure that `user_allow_other` is in /etc/fuse.conf and that it is uncommented so that users are able to mount file systems. (Our current LDAP configuration requires this as well).
