Not the top level directory, obviously.
For me, it would be my Camera directory. Worst case scenario would be to part ways with all the photos and videos I took for 15+ years, including the digital versions of a few hundred objects.
/audio
It contains all my music and audio dramas (star wars, hhgttg, big finish stuff, graphic audio stuff).
Pictures. It’s every photo and video of my family, and backups of several other people’s photos.
/Volume1 ;) guess my system
Proxmox, I presume?
Probably my back ups, I only have one source anyhow
duh ~ home
Music
Everything else is either easy to replace or it’s stuff I never access
Stuff
/mediastack. Has all my movies, shows, music, books, audiobooks etc.
Good shit
On my server I would keep /NAS/Photos. Sure I’m loosing 45TB of everything else, but all my photos are stored in there. Some are irreplaceable, and sure they’re backed up, but I read the question as “you loose everything except the one folder”. So if I lost all my backups, Photos is the only one that would be devastating.
Losing 45TB sounds like a rough day. Glad to hear you have backups, bro.
Simple: Pr0n
/mnt/Storinator/NASty/Archive
Well, it’s handy that the entire ZFS datastore is presented as a top-level directory. So yeah, that.
/files
Media
It’s where all my media lives - it’s then split into isos, other isos, cd rips and photos etc. The other top level directories are Downloads (torrents and nzbs), Document backup, and a folder for the library files for Plex, MusicBrainz and the Plex arr ecosystem. I can’t be doing with loads of top level folders.
