Yea the default works but how is it Plain Wrong? If it was flat out wrong then Upstream would not allow it. Raid 1 disk array with one hot spare on a hardware raid controller under a SAN server is what you saying is wrong? Case is, the array is not using /home or /var; were only exporting nfs luns direct attached. What on earth and why would I want to have another drive for /var &/home in this case. I'm just asking but not arguing. There are cases where it works exceptionally. In fact my opinion is it works nice for newbies, untill they gets a lil experience.
With number one I do not agree. You can install apps under winblows in any location. Not every Unix/Linux system has the same file layout. Debian vs CentOS
