Hi All,
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 along side the existing one. I will name this new disk media so it will be /mount-location/media
I am trying to work out the correct location to mount this disk. It will contain data to be server to the network e.g. music and videos. So data will not change often.
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?
Anything that is not already used for something. /mnt is typically temporary mounts /media is typically automatically mounted external media /srv is typically server structures, like web or ftp. /var I don't remember the definition but is a system reserved directory. You could add your own somewhere inside. I use "/data". Thus /data/movies would be the movies hard disk. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.0 (Legolas))
