Agreed!


/media:
        A superuser should know how to create a directory somewhere if
they need to make an emergency mount. This could be /mnt/tmp, /tmp/mnt,
/stupid/fscking/part, etc. They could even mount on /mnt, making the other
mounts (i.e. /mnt/cdrom, etc.) inaccessible. If it's an emergency, does it
really matter if the cdrom is accessible?

/srv:
        This has been pretty well covered already. /var and /home are both
good places for server data. Adding another partition just seems a waste.


I'm voting against both of these and I really hope that the fhs people get
a negative response to this. If it really makes it into a the next fhs
standard, then I suggest we say screw maintaining fhs compatability.
