More like old-fangled. Under the new Linux Filesystem Standard (LFS) |
| 8 |
agreed upon by a number of distro's (gentoo among them I believe) it |
| 9 |
is recommended that *all* service related data be placed under /srv. |
| 10 |
The specifics of how data gets organized is up to the admin. Myself |
| 11 |
for example, I place all data under /srv/<service> so I have folders |
| 12 |
/srv/www, /srv/ftp, /srv/nfs, /srv/samba, etc. In order to keep apps |
| 13 |
that like /var/www I've just symlinked /var/www to /srv/www. |
