For coreyh, here is the link to Linux Filesystem Hierarchy, v3: <https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs-3.0.pdf>. And here is Wikipedia's page digesting it: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard>. The documents discuss where various bits should go, including 11 pieces for various /var locations.
Thanks for all your help. Now it make sense to me. -- corey hickman
