recommended file location for samba share

Question

I'm setting up a samba share on our office server (debian sqeeze). Is there a recommended location where to put the share on the file system in debian?

Answer 1

Either /home for home directories or /srv for other files, as per the FHS.

Or put it where you can find it and where it's logical for you. I usually mount data partitions under /data.

Answer 2

I've commonly seen /shared or /var/shared/ (or the like) used
