You probably just need to create them however you want them. To my knowledge
there is no default for such things. I usually create a mount point named
/raid. Set fstab so its mounted automatically. Then use symlinks so that the
data winds up where I want it, eg maybe /raid/data is really
/var/lib/mysql/ or somesuch.
