securitybreach Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Linux File Hierarchy Concepts Files and Directories are organized into a single rooted inverted tree structure, including distinct physical volumes such as Floppy Disks, CD-ROMs and Multiple Hard Drives. Filesystem begins at the root directory, represented by lonely forward slash (/). Names in Linux File Hierarchy are case sensitive. Paths are delimited by / such as /usr/share/bin/X11/X Each shell and system process has a current working directory. . refers to the current working directory. .. refers to the parent directory of any particular directory - just one level up in the file hierarchy. Files and Directories whose name begin with a . are hidden. A user’s path is a list of directories that are searched for commands typed at the command line. Some Important Directories Home Directories: /root, /home/username User Executables: /bin, /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin System Executables: /sbin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/sbin Shared Libraries: /lib, /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib Kernels & Boot-loaders: /boot Configuration Files: /etc Device Files: /dev Temporary Files: /tmp Other Mount-points: /media, /mnt Server Data: /var, /srv System Informations: /proc, /sys0 Optional Applications: /opt 1. Home Directories Every user has a home directory. The root user’s home directory is /root. Most non-root user’s home directories are in /home/username........... https://miteshshah.g...the-filesystem/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
