25 .SH SYNOPSIS

34 .fi
36 .SH DESCRIPTION
37 .LP
38 The file system tree is organized for administrative convenience. Distinct
39 areas within the file system tree are provided for files that are private to
40 one machine, files that can be shared by multiple machines of a common
41 platform, files that can be shared by all machines, and home directories. This
42 organization allows sharable files to be stored on one machine but accessed by
43 many machines using a remote file access mechanism such as \fBNFS\fR. Grouping
44 together similar files makes the file system tree easier to upgrade and manage.
45 .sp
46 .LP
47 The file system tree consists of a root file system and a collection of
48 mountable file systems. The \fBmount\fR(2) program attaches mountable file
49 systems to the file system tree at mount points (directory entries) in the root
50 file system or other previously mounted file systems. Two file systems, \fB/\fR
51 (the root) and \fB/usr\fR, must be mounted and \fB/var\fR must be accessible to
52 have a functional system. The root file system is mounted automatically by the
53 kernel at boot time; the \fB/usr\fR file system is mounted by the system
54 start-up script, which is run as part of the booting process. \fB/var\fR can be
55 mounted as its own file system or be part of \fB/usr\fR, as it is by default.
56 .sp
57 .LP
58 Certain locations, noted below, are approved installation locations for bundled
59 Foundation Solaris software. In some cases, the approved locations for bundled
60 software are also approved locations for add-on system software or for
61 applications. The following descriptions make clear where the two locations
62 differ. For example, \fB/etc\fR is the installation location for
63 platform-dependent configuration files that are bundled with Solaris software.
64 The analogous location for applications is \fB/etc/opt/\fR\fIpackagename\fR.
65 .sp
66 .LP
67 In the following descriptions, \fIsubsystem\fR is a category of application or
68 system software, such as a window system (\fBdt\fR) or a language
69 (\fBjava1.2\fR)
70 .sp
71 .LP
72 The following descriptions make use of the terms \fBplatform\fR,
73 \fBplatform-dependent\fR, \fBplatform-independent\fR, and
74 \fBplatform-specific\fR. Platform refers to a machines Instruction Set
75 Architecture or processor type, such as is returned by \fBuname\fR \fB-i\fR.
76 \fBPlatform-dependent\fR refers to a file that is installed on all platforms
77 and whose contents vary depending on the platform. Like a platform-dependent
78 file, a \fBplatform-independent\fR file is installed on all platforms. However,
79 the contents of the latter type remains the same on all platforms. An example
80 of a platform-dependent file is compiled, executable program. An example of a
81 platform-independent file is a standard configuration file, such as
82 \fB/etc/hosts\fR. Unlike a platform-dependent or a platform-independent file,
83 the \fBplatform-specific\fR file is installed only on a subset of supported
84 platforms. Most platform-specific files are gathered under \fB/platform\fR and
85 \fB/usr/platform\fR.

88 In the following file or directory descriptions, GNOME stands for GNU Network
89 Object Model Environment. The GNOME Desktop is shipped with the Solaris
90 operating system.

1823 Because it is desirable to keep the root file system small and not volatile, on
1824 disk-based systems larger file systems are often mounted on \fB/home\fR,

1828 The file system mounted on \fB/usr\fR contains platform-dependent and
1829 platform-independent sharable files. The subtree rooted at \fB/usr/share\fR
1830 contains platform-independent sharable files; the rest of the \fB/usr\fR tree
1831 contains platform-dependent files. By mounting a common remote file system, a
1832 group of machines with a common platform may share a single \fB/usr\fR file
1833 system. A single \fB/usr/share\fR file system can be shared by machines of any
1834 platform. A machine acting as a file server can share many different \fB/usr\fR
1835 file systems to support several different architectures and operating system
1836 releases. Clients usually mount \fB/usr\fR read-only so that they do not
