Paul, et al -- ...and then Paul Groves said... % % Hi All, Good morning! % % I have a single 1TB disk on a server at the moment mounted at root % (/). I have run out of space so I have installed a 4TB hard disk ... % % I though /mnt but that is apparently for temporarily mounted % filesystems. perhaps either /var or /srv % % Where would best practice indicate I should mount this disk? IMHO it is very much up to you. Yes, /mnt if typicall for temp stuff, but SuSE doesn't automunt anything there, so you won't be in the way. Yes, /media is often for removable ephemeral devices, but it doesn't HAVE to me. Here how my disk farm looks diskfarm:root:18:~> df -kh | grep /mnt/ /dev/md0p1 11T 8.3T 2.7T 76% /mnt/4Traid5md /dev/md127p1 1.4T 1.1T 342G 76% /mnt/750Graid5md /dev/sdd4 229G 69G 161G 31% /mnt/scratch_reiserfs /dev/sda2 128M 33M 96M 26% /mnt/slices/4reiserfs /dev/sdb2 120M 1.6M 112M 2% /mnt/slices/4ext3 /dev/sde2 122M 6.7M 115M 6% /mnt/slices/4xfs /dev/sdf2 128M 0 128M 0% /mnt/slices/4vfat /dev/sdd3 128M 33M 96M 26% /mnt/slices/7reiserfs /dev/sdg3 120M 1.6M 112M 2% /mnt/slices/7ext3 /dev/sdh3 122M 6.7M 115M 6% /mnt/slices/7xfs /dev/loop0 233G 205G 28G 89% /mnt/4Traid5md/Backups/Scrp0250-72-att1..2017-post/mnt /dev/loop1 233G 147G 87G 63% /mnt/4Traid5md/Backups/Scrp0250-72-att2..2017-post/mnt /dev/sdj1 112G 102G 11G 91% /mnt/pix (including mounting two disk-dump images -- at /mnt subdirs, you'll notice ;-) and here's how my laptop (just one drive) looks davidtg@wench:~> df -kh | grep /mnt/ /dev/sda4 64G 38G 27G 59% /mnt/windows /dev/sda3 819G 804G 15G 99% /mnt/data since I obviously favor /mnt for mount points :-) Enjoy figuring out your favorite flavor!
