Explanation
When an uxfs file system is created, by default it contains at its root level two key directories; .etc and lost +found. These directories are extremely important to the function and integrity of the file system. The .etc directory contains configuration files and lost+found contains files that are restored after a system crash, or when a partition has not been unmounted before a system shutdown. In order to keep these directories safe, export a directory instead of the root filesystem. This procedure hides theses directories protecting them from being removed, or accessed by non- administrators users on the enterprise network.
