[lsb-discuss] /srv

[Mike Seda]

Hi All,
I'm currently trying to decide on a mount point for storing data for 
applications such as Git, Apache, Cobbler, and Puppet. Best practices is 
what I'm shooting for here. /srv seems to be the best place (based on 
FHS). Although, /data seems to be what more shops tend to go (or stick) 
with.

What I'm trying to avoid is something that I refer to as "root-sprawl", 
which is the continuous addition of directories onto the root of the 
file system, e.g. /data, /scratch, /projects, /apps. I've always seen 
this as a bad thing, but am I wrong?

I just wanted to get a feel for what others are doing.

Regards,
Mike
