    Rework a redhat mount
    
    Only comments have been changed. On a corporate server that uses lots
    of little partitions for e.g. {/usr /home /opt /opt/nxlog ...}, the
    uncomfortably small root partition overflowed because of the (former)
    contents of /srv/cache_for_lmi . To avoid that recurring problem, moved
    all of /srv only a comparatively gigantic 80 GiB partition. It is hoped
    that redhat is rational enough not to depend on using /srv during the
    boot process; encouragingly, /srv is empty except for lmi stuff.
