Can anyone persuade me or provide other reasons for using /media?
I'm running 3 systems that have media drives for my home theater.
What I did was to mount the local volume on /var/media. Then used
autofs to mount the nfs shared volumes under /media/auto. Finally I
symbolically linked each volume to /media.
Abridged example:
royw-gentoo:
/var/media => mounted lvm volume
/media/auto/xbmc => nfs://xbmc.local/media
/media/royw-gento => /var/media
/media/xbmc => /media/auto/xbmc
xbmc:
/var/media => mounted lvm volume
/media/auto/royw-gentoo => nfs://royw-gentoo.local/media
/media/xbmc => /var/media
/media/royw-gentoo => /media/auto/royw-gentoo
Now on either machine I can reference /media/xbmc or /media/royw-gentoo
Also each media volume uses the LinuxMCE directory scheme:
public
+ data
++ audio
++ documents
++ pictures
++ videos
local
user
Have fun,
