Where is the most appropriate place in the filesystem for this
directory? I've considered both /home/photos and /var/photos, but
I'm not quite if one is better than the other, or if it just doesn't
make a difference.
if you put them on /var & run out of space due to people stuffing pr0n or
baby photos (the difference is debatable) then apps that store stuff in /var
like mysql may die due to lack of space.
if you put them on /home your users can't work.
it depends on who you want to suffer the pain. in this case, i usually go
for the users; at least there's some link in responsibility to the issue at
hand.
