And the opinion of many others e.g. yaVDR Maintainers. OK timeshift recordings could be saved to /var/spool, but for most people the recording directory is more like an archive. >>> /srv is right, if the VDR-machine offers the recordings like a NAS or >>> MediaServer, >> >> FHS says: >> >> | /srv : Data for services provided by this system >> >> So as VDR is the primary service of such a box, /srv seems to be OK >> for me.

A good example in Archlinux is httpd, nothing is installed to /srv but httpd is configured to search for website data there. > >> For me the discussion about the default setting seems to be >> useless.
