Guided Tour of the HP-UX File Hierarchy

SLIDE: The File System Layout
Student Notes The shaded directories in the diagram on the slide contain static data, while unshaded directories in the diagram contain dynamic data. The sharable portion of the operating system is located beneath /usr and /sbin. Only the operating system can install files into these directories. Applications are located beneath /opt. The directories /usr, /sbin, and the application subdirectories below /opt can be shared among networked hosts. Therefore, they must not contain host-specific information. The host-specific information is located in directories in the Dynamic area of the file system.
