Yes, I have the same question. I was reading elsewhere on the site that
you get the space you purchased in /srv and an additional 2gb /
partition for your OS (although my server seems to have a 2.4 gb /
partition).

I find this to be less than ideal. I would like my purchased space to be
available on / since, for me anyway, that is where I want to store my
data. Setting up data stores on /srv is annoying. Also, I see no mention
of my 5gb partition in my fstab file, and I'm therefore not sure how to
deal with it. I'd maybe like to mount it as /home or /var

How is the space under / (root) managed? Is it freely editable?

From what I can see from the documentation in the wiki, using the
Manual
Installation give you root access to the / root partition. This means
that you can edit, add and remove files everywhere.

Is the space of the root partition different from the space available
in
disk mounted on /srv? Is this space counted towards the disk quota?
