From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

In the past I've tended towards
/srv/*as most mounts end up being application specific storage.Though now it is all mounted as container volume storage.
I use /srv for all mu shared mounts for all the *arr's
Isn't
/srv/is for files from network or something ?What's that ? 😅 Is that like LVM ?
/srv is for “site-specific data which is served by this system.”
How to interpret that is up to for debate, but it seems clearly to be “user files” as opposed to “system files”. “Served” is a bit ambiguous but I don’t think it really requires that it be made accessible with a network service.
Basically I’d treat this as a location to mount/store your non-personal data such as music, videos, etc that should be accessible to anyone using your system. It could be network-exported as well but doesn’t have to be.
/net is for files imported from the network.
Thank you.
Used to be an LVM group using the LVM docker volume driver. So every container volume became its own LV.
Now just a bunch of devices behind a btrfs volume mounted on
/var/lib/dockeror wherever.Thank you.
