I want to bring some organization to UNIX file systems among several
machines that use NFS.

I am seeking your advice.

Say I have several machines:  red, green, and blue

Each has a somewhat usual hierarchy of directory names, for example:

/bin
/dev
/etc
/lib
/local
/src
/sys
/tmp
/usr

Each machine is going to mount file systems from each of the other two.

Question:  What is a good, uniform, consistent, and easy to roam method
of naming the file systems?

How about on machine "red":

/green
/blue

If so, then where do these directories enter on machines "green" and "blue"?

Thanks.
