"4. The /usr Hierarchy /usr is the second major section of the filesystem. /usr is shareable, read-only data. That means that /usr should be shareable between various hosts running FHS-compliant and should not be written to. Any information that is host-specific or varies with time is stored elsewhere."
Note that 6.4 went gold before this spec was released.
Question is, what's all this mean? FTP trees are definatly local. FTP is also often written to. I personally always re-locate it to /home/ftp because /home is always on a seperate partition for me and i install stuff i want to live through upgrades there. maybe FTP should belong in /home, since there's actually an FTP user, and this is the tree used for this anonymouse users access?
anyway, just some thoughts.
I like the idea of /home/ftp. In my case I constantly backup /home, /var, and /root because they get written to the most often. I only backup /bin, /etc, /usr, /sbin before I make additions and changes.
