Have a look at the FHS: 

http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html

There is a lot of information. Do a word search on shareable and
you'll find info like this:

"Some portions of /var are not shareable between different systems.
For instance, /var/log, /var/lock, and /var/run. Other portions may be
shared, notably /var/mail, /var/cache/man, /var/cache/fonts, and
/var/spool/news."
