/mnt
Standard directories for mounting and serving data: /mnt for temporary mounts, /media for removable media, and /srv for data a server provides.
In more detail
The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard defines them. Sites often mount data volumes under /srv, such as /srv/scans, so programs and backups know where served data lives.
