There is no hard rule/convention. Ideally you would want the brick directory name to match the volume name, rather than something as isolated as "brick1". For eg, if you have a volume called 'music', the brick name could be /export/LVM/music and similarly share the same LVM for video with a brick called /export/LVM/video.
