Since I have access to more than one machine, it easier to have all of them using FHS pathnames. So all services that the machine provides go to /srv.
Why you edit config file, please start to make sure the pathnames aren't hard coded. That will be useful in the future. What about moving all the stuff to /srv and making /iglu a symlink? that should give us enough time to make the changes. Another thing I'd like to do, is using LVM, instead of the software raid. The result will be similar, but easier to admin.
