My Solaris 10 System Administration Part I notes.

Credits

My main source of information came from Oracle System Administration of Solaris 10 Part I from Oracle University (excellent training) & Solaris 10 man pages.

Solaris 10 OS Directory Hierarchy

File systems

Unix File System (UFS) is the default file system

Directory starts with root directory (/)

Solaris 10 OS includes alternate file system called zettabyte file system (ZFS)

Logically all directories fall below root directory (/)

Physically directories can be located on one or spread over multiple file systems

<insert graphics to show this>

Refer to filesystem man page for more information on file system organization.

$ man -s 5 filesystem

Important directories

Directory Notes
/ root of file system
/bin symbolic link to /usr/bin & location for binary files of standard system commands
/dev primary directory for logical device names & contents of directory are symbolic links to device files in /devices directory
/etc directory holds host-specific config files & databases for system administration
