NAME

filesystem - File system organization

SYNOPSIS

/ /usr

DESCRIPTION

The file system tree is organized for administrative con-

venience. Distinct areas within the file system tree are provided for files that are private to one machine, files

that can be shared by multiple machines of a common plat-

form, files that can be shared by all machines, and home directories. This organization allows sharable files to be stored on one machine but accessed by many machines using a remote file access mechanism such as NFS. Grouping together similar files makes the file system tree easier to upgrade and manage. The file system tree consists of a root file system and a collection of mountable file systems. The mount(2) program attaches mountable file systems to the file system tree at mount points (directory entries) in the root file system or other previously mounted file systems. Two file systems, /

(the root) and /usr, must be mounted and /var must be acces-

sible to have a functional system. The root file system is mounted automatically by the kernel at boot time; the /usr

file system is mounted by the system start-up script, which

is run as part of the booting process. /var can be mounted as its own file system or be part of /usr, as it is by default. Certain locations, noted below, are approved installation locations for bundled Foundation Solaris software. In some cases, the approved locations for bundled software are also

approved locations for add-on system software or for appli-

cations. The following descriptions make clear where the two locations differ. For example, /etc is the installation

location for platform-dependent configuration files that are

bundled with Solaris software. The analogous location for applications is /etc/opt/packagename. In the following descriptions, subsystem is a category of application or system software, such as a window system (dt) or a language (java1.2)

The following descriptions make use of the terms platform,

platform-dependent, platform-independent, and platform-

specific. Platform refers to a machines Instruction Set Architecture or processor type, such as is returned by uname

-i. Platform-dependent refers to a file that is installed on

all platforms and whose contents vary depending on the plat-

form. Like a platform-dependent file, a platform-independent

file is installed on all platforms. However, the contents of

the latter type remains the same on all platforms. An exam-

ple of a platform-dependent file is compiled, executable

program. An example of a platform-independent file is a

standard configuration file, such as /etc/hosts. Unlike a

platform-dependent or a platform-independent file, the

platform-specific file is installed only on a subset of sup-

ported platforms. Most platform-specific files are gathered

under /platform and /usr/platform. In the following file or directory descriptions, GNOME stands for GNU Network Object Model Environment. The GNOME Desktop is shipped with the Solaris operating system. Root File System The root file system contains files that are unique to each machine. It contains the following directories: / Root of the overall file system name space. /dev Primary location for special files. Typically, device

files are built to match the kernel and hardware confi-

guration of the machine. /dev/cfg

Symbolic links to physical ap_ids.

/dev/cpu Provides configuration and capability information about the processor type /dev/cua Device files for uucp.

bundled Solaris software and for add-on system software

and applications. It is possible to change the default behavior for

/var/tmp to clear all of the files except editor tem-

porary files by setting the clean_vartmp property value

of the rmtmpfiles service. This is done with the follow-

ing commands:

# svccfg -s svc:/system/rmtmpfiles setprop \

options/clean_vartmp = "true"

# svcadm refresh svc:/system/rmtmpfiles:default

The solaris.smf.value.rmtmpfiles authorization is required to modify this property. /var/uucp uucp(1C) log and status files. /var/yp Databases needed for backwards compatibility with NIS and ypbind(1M). /usr File System Because it is desirable to keep the root file system small

and not volatile, on disk-based systems larger file systems

are often mounted on /home, /opt, /usr, and /var.

The file system mounted on /usr contains platform-dependent

and platform-independent sharable files. The subtree rooted

at /usr/share contains platform-independent sharable files;

the rest of the /usr tree contains platform-dependent files.

By mounting a common remote file system, a group of machines with a common platform may share a single /usr file system. A single /usr/share file system can be shared by machines of any platform. A machine acting as a file server can share

many different /usr file systems to support several dif-

ferent architectures and operating system releases. Clients

usually mount /usr read-only so that they do not acciden-

tally change any shared files. The /usr file system contains the following subdirectories:

/usr/lib/sysevent Contains the system event notification daemon (syseventd) and the syseventd loadable module (SLM) repository. /usr/lib/uucp Auxiliary programs and daemons for uucp(1C). /usr/lib/webconsole Sun Java web console programs and scripts. /usr/lib/zones Zone administration daemon (zoneamd). /usr/local

Not part of the SVR4-based Solaris distribution. The

/usr directory is exclusively for software bundled with the Solaris operating system. If needed for storing

machine-local add-on software, create the directory

/opt/local and make /usr/local a symbolic link to

/opt/local. The /opt directory or filesystem is for

storing add-on software to the system.

/usr/mail Symbolic link to the /var/mail directory. /usr/man Symbolic link to the /usr/share/man directory. /usr/net/servers Entry points for foreign name service requests relayed using the network listener. See listen(1M). /usr/news Symbolic link to the /var/news directory.

/usr/old Programs that are being phased out. /usr/openwin Installation or mount point for the OpenWindows software. /usr/perl5 Perl 5 programs and documentation /usr/platform

Subtree of platform-specific objects which does not need

to reside on the root filesystem. It contains a series

of directories, one per supported platform. The seman-

tics of the series of directories is equivalent to

/platform, except for subdirectories which do not pro-

vide utility under one or the other (for example, /platform/include is not needed).

/usr/platform/`uname -i`/include

Symbolic link to /../`uname -i`/include. Platform-

specific system (sys, vm) header files with semantics equivalent to /usr/include. An approved installation

location for bundled Solaris software and for add-on

system software.

/usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib

Platform-specific shared objects with semantics

equivalent to /usr/lib. An approved installation loca-

tion for bundled Solaris software and for add-on system

software.

/usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/subsystem/amd64

x86 64-bit, platform-specific daemon and shared objects.

An approved installation location for bundled Solaris

software and for add-on system software.

Platform-dependent executables for system administra-

tion, expected to be run only by system administrators. An approved installation location for bundled Solaris

software. The analogous location for add-on system

software or for applications is /opt/packagename/sbin. /usr/sbin/install.d Custom Jumpstart scripts and executables.
