/cdrom /floppy /zip is the worst case i can think of :P
Imagine a system with two cdroms, two floppy drives, a zip drive, a usb
camera, a usb mp3 player, two windows partitions; that makes nine
additional directories in /
So there definitely needs to be a directory for those mounts, i still
prefer /mnt over /media, although that seems to go against common unix
practice. Someone on fhs-discuss just suggested /var/mnt. I could live
with that.
