Distinct +areas within the file system tree are provided for files that are private to +one machine, files that can be shared by multiple machines of a common +platform, files that can be shared by all machines, and home directories. This +organization allows sharable files to be stored on one machine but accessed by +many machines using a remote file access mechanism such as \fBNFS\fR. Grouping +together similar files makes the file system tree easier to upgrade and manage. +.sp +.LP +The file system tree consists of a root file system and a collection of +mountable file systems. The \fBmount\fR(2) program attaches mountable file +systems to the file system tree at mount points (directory entries) in the root +file system or other previously mounted file systems. Two file systems, \fB/\fR +(the root) and \fB/usr\fR, must be mounted and \fB/var\fR must be accessible to +have a functional system. The root file system is mounted automatically by the +kernel at boot time; the \fB/usr\fR file system is mounted by the system +start-up script, which is run as part of the booting process. \fB/var\fR can be +mounted as its own file system or be part of \fB/usr\fR, as it is by default. +.sp +.LP +Certain locations, noted below, are approved installation locations for bundled +Foundation Solaris software. In some cases, the approved locations for bundled +software are also approved locations for add-on system software or for +applications. The following descriptions make clear where the two locations +differ. For example, \fB/etc\fR is the installation location for +platform-dependent configuration files that are bundled with Solaris software. +The analogous location for applications is \fB/etc/opt/\fR\fIpackagename\fR. +.sp +.LP +In the following descriptions, \fIsubsystem\fR is a category of application or +system software, such as a window system (\fBdt\fR) or a language +(\fBjava1.2\fR) +.sp +.LP +The following descriptions make use of the terms \fBplatform\fR, +\fBplatform-dependent\fR, \fBplatform-independent\fR, and +\fBplatform-specific\fR. Platform refers to a machines Instruction Set +Architecture or processor type, such as is returned by \fBuname\fR \fB-i\fR. +\fBPlatform-dependent\fR refers to a file that is installed on all platforms +and whose contents vary depending on the platform. Like a platform-dependent +file, a \fBplatform-independent\fR file is installed on all platforms. However, +the contents of the latter type remains the same on all platforms. An example +of a platform-dependent file is compiled, executable program. An example of a +platform-independent file is a standard configuration file, such as +\fB/etc/hosts\fR. Unlike a platform-dependent or a platform-independent file, +the \fBplatform-specific\fR file is installed only on a subset of supported +platforms. Most platform-specific files are gathered under \fB/platform\fR and +\fB/usr/platform\fR. +.SS "Root File System" +The root file system contains files that are unique to each machine.
