I'm not aware of any convention so far as path names are concerned. I would probably put this area in its own partition or logical volume and mount it somewhere like /sharedfiles. Assuming users can write to this area, putting it in its own partition means if it gets filled up, then only the shared area is messed up and not the system, or users home file store. > Should I be using NFS (bear in mind it's all on one machine), or is it > easiest just to make a directory and assign users to a group? If it's all on one machine, I think NFS is over the top! I'd go for the groups thing personally.
