That doesn't sound right to me. Surely the relevant configuration is that
of the individual software packages (setting DocumentRoot to /web, setting
TMPDIR when running some application to /tempfs/foo, or changing Postfix's
mail_spool_directory setting to /mail), not only system-wide
configuration?
