Where should I mount my internal drive partitions?

As far as I searched on the internet, I came to know that

/Media = mount point for removable media that system do it itself ( usb drive , CD )

/Mnt = temporarily mounting anything manually

I can most probably mount anything wherever I want, but if that’s the case what’s the point of /mnt? Just to be organised I suppose.

TLDR

If /mnt is for temporary and /media is for removable where should permanent non-removable devices/partitions be mounted. i.e. an internal HDD which is formatted as NTFS but needs to be automounted at startup?

Asking with the sole reason to know that, what’s the practice of user who know Linux well, unlike me.

I know this is a silly question but I asked anyway.

    Isn’t /srv/ is for files from network or something ?

    container volume storage

    What’s that ? 😅 Is that like LVM ?

      /srv is for “site-specific data which is served by this system.”

      How to interpret that is up to for debate, but it seems clearly to be “user files” as opposed to “system files”. “Served” is a bit ambiguous but I don’t think it really requires that it be made accessible with a network service.

      Basically I’d treat this as a location to mount/store your non-personal data such as music, videos, etc that should be accessible to anyone using your system. It could be network-exported as well but doesn’t have to be.

      /net is for files imported from the network.

      Used to be an LVM group using the LVM docker volume driver. So every container volume became its own LV.

      Now just a bunch of devices behind a btrfs volume mounted on /var/lib/docker or wherever.
