I swear, they're all just backups
The electronic media in my house is stored on my media server. It's a slackware computer with a 2TB array on xfs. For simplicity, I made myself a set of strict rules to follow when adding stuff, to keep everything organized and clean: observe,
- /media/binaries
For non-consumable binary data: backups, disk images, etc
- /media/cache
For temporary storage of uncategorized data
- /media/movies
For feature-length films
- /media/music
For audio
- /media/promo
For promotional material: trailers, music videos, etc
- /media/shows
For episode-format tv shows
For example:
- /media/movies/Cannibal! The Musical.iso
- /media/music/Audioslave/Audioslave - Revelations/11 - Wide Awake.flac
- /media/binaries/isos/slackware-11.0.iso
- /media/shows/southpark/1x03 - Volcano.vob
After a few years of cleaning up the namespace, I think it's hit a point of harmony, so I'm not going to mess with it for now.
