directories mounted on root file system

[Shivkumar]

what are the names of the directories usually mounted on / file system ?

[Joseph Loo · Accepted solution]

hi,

do u mean directories from the mounted / (root) file system?

if so, /etc, /dev, /bin (softlink), /sbin, /lib (softlink), etc are some of the common directories in the mounted / file system.


regards.

Hi Shiv,

Your question is not quite clear. If you want to know the directories that should be mounted under / then there is no such boundation of following the name except for OS file systems.

You can have /shiv and /devender mounted as well if required. The OS directories may or may not be seperate file systems and you can have one big root having all these directories within that but it is not recomended.

HTH,
Devender

hi shiv,

/ is already mounted filesystem

e.g.
# bdf
Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on
/dev/vg00/lvol3 204800 67416 136336 33% /
/dev/vg00/lvol1 295024 35648 229872 13% /stand
/dev/vg00/lvol8 4706304 2842408 1855040 61% /var
/dev/vg00/lvol7 2609152 2309416 297432 89% /usr
/dev/vg01/lv_u01 35553280 31216888 4317560 88% /u01
/dev/vg00/lvol6 946176 811704 133624 86% /tmp
/dev/vg00/lvol5 3145728 2858720 287008 91% /opt
/dev/vg00/lvol4 614400 422384 190560 69% /home


shows that /dev/vg00/lvol3 has been mounted as /

to list the directories found on / you can try to run the following command:
find / -type d -xdev |more


please clarify what you want to know

kind regards

/dev/vg00/lvol1 303125 56535 216277 21% /stand

You can mount any lvols to / by creating & mounting the lvols to the directory.

Hi ,

i think Shiv wants to try to find out directories "created" under / so;

#ls -lrt|grep "^d"
shows all dirs created in /

#bdf
shows FS size&mount points mounted on your system

Good Luck,
