On page 6: The "shareable" distinction can be used to support, for example: o A /usr partition (or components of /usr) mounted (read-only) through the network (using NFS). o A /usr partition (or components of /usr) mounted from read-only media. A CD-ROM can be considered a read-only filesystem shared with other FHS-compliant systems, using the postal mail system as a "network". (As easy as zless /usr/doc/debian-policy/fhs/fhs.txt.gz, /\/usr, n) / Balp
