Hi,

after grepping for mnt2 in the source I guess you mean the MNTPOINT-variable 
in fai.conf ?! (Which is used for nfs-mounting a debian-mirror during 
installation on the client.)

I agree that this directory is not fancy, but I doubt it's really serious, as 
it's only during installation. d-i uses /target during installation, which 
(without looking) also seems like a FHS violation...

As stated in #309554 I would propose to use /var/lib/fai (or /srv if policy 
allows it) for fai's directories on the client, so I would 
propose /var/lib/fai/debian-mirror here (or /srv/fai/debian-mirror). IMO a 
mirror is not a ("real") medium, so IMO /media does not fit.

Which leaves the question open, where to mount a debian-mirror on a installed 
system... IMO this is out of scope for this bug and should not be dealt with 
(now + here).

In any case I propose to downgrade the severity to normal. (normal, not 
important, as the MNTPOINT only resides in $NFSROOT.)


regards,
        Holger
