I have a server running on Ubuntu which creates lots of data and media files. I would like to know what is the best location to store the files.
Requirment :
My application running on java server(tomcat) needs to read, write and delete these files.
There could be 100s of these files and the files could be huge.
I would like to know what is the best location(directory) for storing the files.
thank you

(where
<app>is the name of your app)
