Installer shouldn't override spectrum scale documented defaults
Describe the bug
The installer sets default block size to 1 MB, and default mount point to /mnt/fsname. This is deviating from the spectrum scale documented defaults of 4 MB block size, and /gpfs/fsname as default mount points. The installer probably shouldn't be pushing for different settings than the core product, unless there's a specific reason for it.
Also, the use of /mnt it's a violation of the The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard which says:
3.12. /mnt : Mount point for a temporarily mounted filesystem
3.12.1. Purpose
This directory is provided so that the system administrator may temporarily mount a
filesystem as needed. The content of this directory is a local issue and should not affect
the manner in which any program is run.
This directory must not be used by installation programs: a suitable temporary directory
not in use by the system must be used instead.
