Yeah, that is really an important point. FHS might really a problem in the future, if major changes will appear. I do not know, if this is correct, but somebody told me this: On servers In the early days there were 16 root-directories, which were mounterd each on a seperate device. 16, because a SCSI-bus can handle 16 SCSI-drives. And each drive can handle 16 logical partitions, so there were max 16 Subdirectories, in sum 255 filedirectories. This is not really related to our little discussion, but I just wanted to mention it. And I repeart, I do not know, if it is true. Google got me no clear answer. However, I found out, there were originally 13 root-directories, and 3, which must not have been necessary below /. I forgot all, but /opt for example was one of them. However, I like the idea, 16 drives and each partition got its own directory.
