Stupid question about mountpoints and fstab

Hello people,

I have never figured out something like this can be done, but today I 
see it. We have purchased s co-lo server. They have installed it and
given me access to "do whatever you want with the box", but their
fstab has left me thirsty, wanting to know what's going on ...


sp2817a# less /etc/fstab

/dev/ad0s1b             none            swap    sw              0       0

/dev/ad0s1g             /home           ufs     rw              2       2
/dev/ad0s1e             /tmp            ufs     rw              2       2
/dev/ad0s1f             /usr            ufs     rw              2       2
/dev/ad0s1d             /var            ufs     rw              2       2
/dev/ad0s2              /home           ufs     rw              2       2
/dev/acd0               /cdrom          cd9660  ro,noauto       0       0

sp2817a# df -h

/dev/ad0s2      72G     22K     66G     0%    /home


Now, if someone can explain to me what the hell is being done with
/home in this server... ;)
