5. Disks and File Systems Directory Structures Directories Common to Both IRIX and HP-UX DIRECTORY /dev /etc /lib /lost+found /mnt /opt /sbin PURPOSE Used for special files for local devices such as disks, tapes, and CD-ROM Contains host-specific system and application configuration files important to the correct operation of the system. Most commands previously located in /etc can be found in /usr/sbin. Libraries Contains files located by fsck Reserved name for mount points for local file systems Optional applications Commands and scripts essential to boot the system and mount the /usr file system /tmp /usr System-generated temporary files The bulk of the operating system, including commands, libraries, and documentation. The /usr file system contains only shareable operating system files, such as executables and ASCII documentation. /usr/bin Commonly used commands. In both operating systems /bin is a symbolic link to here /usr/bin/X11 /usr/etc Most standard X window system executables In IRIX this file contains critical system configuration files. In HP-UX a limited number of network capabilities are stored here. /usr/include /usr/lib /usr/local /usr/sbin /usr/share /var /var/adm /var/mail /var/preserve /var/spool /var/tmp Header files Holds libraries Site-specific files, including binaries, libraries, sources, and documentation System administration commands Architecture-independent shareable files Multipurpose log, temporary, transient, variable sized, and spool files Common administrative files, logs, and databases Mail spool directory. /usr/mail is a symbolic link to this directory Temporary editor files Host-specific spool files such as printer support files User temporary files IRIX-Only Directories DIRECTORY /dev/fd /etc/config /etc/init.d /hosts /hw /lib32 /lib64 /ns /proc /stand /usr/bsd /usr/demos /usr/freeware /usr/lib32 PURPOSE File descriptor filesystem Configuration files for the scripts in /etc/init.d Scripts that execute during system initialization Default mount point for NFS filesystems Hardware filesystem Libraries Libraries Default mount point for pseudo filesystem interface Process filesystem Standalone utilities Commands Demo programs Unsupported free software Libraries and support files 24
