Q

/etc/rpmrc
create it if it doesn’t exist
The main reason to create such a file is to implement architecture optimizations—for instance; to optimize your code for your CPU model by passing appropriate compiler options when you build a source RPM into a binary RPM. This is done with the optflags line:
optflags: athlon -O2 -g -march=i686

A

rpm global configuration file for editing

Q

/etc/yum.repos.d/

25
/sys
sysfs virtual filesystem, contains information about devices so that user-space utilities can access the information
26
/dev
a place where dynamic device files as drivers are loaded and unloaded; necessitated by hotplug devices
27
/lib/modules
kernel module files; kernel drivers for hardware
28
/proc/modules
currently loaded kernel modules
29
/etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modprobe.d/
modprobe configuration
30
/proc/bus/usb
connected usb devices
31
/dev/mapper
where logical volumes for LVM are mapped to names
32
swap partition (mounted with swapon to /swap)
Serves as an adjunct to system RAM. It is slow but enables the computer to run more or larger programs.
33
/home partition
Holds users' data files. Isolating it on a separate partition preserves user data during a system upgrade. Size depends on the number of users and their data storage needs.
34
/boot partition
Holds critical boot files. Creating it as a separate partition lets you circumvent limitations of older BIOSs and boot loaders; which often can't boot a kernel from a point above a value between 504MiB and 2TiB.
35
/usr partition
Holds most Linux program and data files; this is sometimes the largest partition; although /home is larger on systems with many users or if users store large data files. Changes implemented in 2012 are making it harder to create a separate /usr partition in many distributions
36
/usr/local partition
Holds Linux program and data files that are unique to this installation; particularly those that you compile yourself
37
/opt partition
Holds Linux program and data files that are associated with third- party packages; especially commercial ones
38
/var partition
Holds miscellaneous files associated with the day-to-day functioning of a computer. These files are often transient in nature. Most often split off as a separate partition when the system functions as a server that uses the /var directory for server-related files like mail queues.
39
/tmp partition
Holds temporary files created by ordinary users.
40
/mnt partition
Not a separate partition; rather; it or its subdirectories are used as mount points for removable media like CDs and DVDs.
41
/media partition
Holds subdirectories that may be used as mount points for removable media; much like /mnt or its subdirectories.
42
/etc/fstab
the partitions that are mounted on boot and their mount points
43
/etc/mtab
a list of filesystems linux has mounted; don't edit it
44
/
root directory
45
/boot
contains static and unshareable files related to the computer's initial booting. Higher-level startup and configuration files reside in another directory; /etc . In this directory; you will find GRUB or LILO configuration files along with the other files necessary for the initial boot. typically; it is recommended that you store /boot on its own partition.
46
/etc
contains unshareable and static system configuration files. These higher-level startup and configuration files control the various programs and services offered on a system If the Linux distribution uses SysV system initialization; its configuration files are stored here
47
/bin
contains certain critical executable files; such as ls ; cp ; and mount . These commands are accessible to all users and constitute the most important commands that ordinary users might issue static files; almost never shared
48
/sbin
similar to /bin ; but it contains programs that are normally run only by the system administrator—tools like fdisk and e2fsck . It's static and theoretically shareable; but in practice it makes no sense to share it
49
/lib
similar to /bin and /sbin ; but it contains program libraries. Program libraries consist of code that's shared across many programs and stored in separate files to save disk space and RAM. is static and theoretically shareable; although it's not shared in practice
50
/usr
hosts the bulk of a Linux computer's programs. Its contents are shareable and static; so it can be mounted read-only and may be shared with other Linux systems. For these reasons; many administrators split /usr off into a separate partition; although doing so isn't required
51
/usr/local
mirror the organization of /usr osts files that a system administrator installs locally—for instance; packages that are compiled on the target computer. The idea is to have an area that's safe from automatic software upgrades when the OS as a whole is upgraded. Some system administrators split this off into its own partition to protect it from OS reinstallation procedures that might erase the parent partition.
52
/usr/share/man
stores the manual pages used by the man command
53
/usr/X11R6
houses files related to the X Window System (X for short); Linux's GUI environment. often moved to /usr/bin
54
/opt
intended for ready-made packages that don't ship with the OS; such as commercial word processors or games. static and shareable Some system administrators break it into a separate partition
55
/home
contains users' data; and it's shareable and variable
56
/root
home directory of the root user | variable; not shareable
57
/var
contains transient files of various types—system log files; print spool files; mail and news files; and so on variable; some subfolders are shareable and some are not Many system administrators put /var in its own partition; particularly on systems that see a lot of activity in /var ; like major Usenet news or mail servers.
58
/tmp
temporary files | variable; seldom shared
59
/mnt
removable-media devices
60
/media
like /mnt ; but it should contain subdirectories for specific media types
61
/dev
files that represent devices
62
/proc
virtual filesystem that's created dynamically by Linux to provide access to certain types of hardware information that aren't accessible via /dev
63
/etc/updatedb.conf
the configuration file for updatedb used by locate
64
/boot/efi
EFI System Partition (ESP)
65
/boot/grub/menu.lst | /boot/grub/grub.conf
grub legacy configuration file
66
/boot/grub/grub.cfg | do not edit
grub 2 configuration file
67
etc/grub.d/
grub 2 OS probers
68
/etc/default/grub
grub 2 menu configuration
69
/var/log/messages
syslogd output
70
/var/log/syslog
i think this is also syslogd output
71
/sbin/init
the first program run by the kernel
72
/etc/inittab id: runlevels:action:process e. g. l0: 0:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 0 l1: 1:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 1
the programs the init script is supposed to run when changing runlevels also specifies the default runlevel
73
/etc/init.d/rc | or /etc/rc.d/rc
the program that runs all of the scripts associated with the desired runlevel
74
/etc/rc.d/rc?.d or /etc/init.d/rc?.d or /etc/rc?.d S* scripts are started K* scripts are stopped
scripts that are run by rc when the runlevel changes
75
/lib/systemd/system
configuration files for systemd
76
/etc/init/
Upstart and it's scripts
