Critical Directories:
a) The / or root of the overall file system namespace. b) /bin is a symbolic link to the /usr/bin directory. It is the directory location for binary files of standard system commands. c) /dev is the primary dir for logical device names. The contents of this dir are symbolic links that point to device files in the /devices directory. d) /etc is the directory that holds host-specific configuration files and databases for system administration. e) /export is the default die for commonly shared file systems, such as user’s home directories, application software, or other shared file systems. |

Critical Directories:
What are the general contents of each of the directories listed below? a) /platform b) /sbin c) /usr d) /var |
Critical Directories:
a) /platform is the directory of platform-dependent loadable kernel modules b) /sbin the single-user bin directory that contains essential executables that are used during the booting process and in manual system-failure recovery. c) /usr is the directory that contains programs, scripts, and libraries that are used by all system users. d) /var is the dir for varying files, which usually include temporary, logging or status files.

What are the general contents of each of the directories listed below? a) /dev/fd b) /devices c) /etc/mnttab d) /etc/svc/volatile |
a) /dev/fd is the directory that contains special files relating to current file-descriptors in use by the system.
b) /devices is the primary directory for physical device names. c) /etc/mnttab is a memory-based file, in its own file system, that contains details of current file system mounts. d) /etc/svc/volatile is the directory that contains log files and reference files relating to the current state of system services. |

In-Memory System Directories
What are the general contents of each of the directories listed below? a) /proc b) /system/contract c) /system/object d) /tmp e) /var/run |
In-Memory System Directories
a) /proc is the directory that stores current process-related information. Every process has it’s own set of subdirectories below the /proc directory. b) /system/contract, CTFS (the contract file system) is the interface for creating, controlling, and observing contracts. The CTFS supports all the SMF services. c) /system/object is the OBJFS (object) file system describes the state of all modules currently loaded by the kernel. d) /tmp is the directory for temporary files. This directory is cleared during the boot sequence. e) /var/run is the directory that contains lock files, special files, and reference files for a variety of system processes and services. |
