Redhat Dir
| Location | Purpose |
|---|---|
| /boot | Files to start the boot process. |
| /dev | Special device files that the system uses to access hardware. |
| /etc | System-specific configuration files. |
| /home | Home directory, where regular users store their data and configuration files. |
| /root | Home directory for the administrative superuser, root. |
| /run | Runtime data for processes that started since the last boot. This data includes process ID files and lock files. The contents of this directory are re-created on reboot. This directory consolidates the /var/run and /var/lock directories from earlier versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. |
| /tmp | A world-writable space for temporary files. Files that are not accessed, changed, or modified for 10 days are deleted from this directory automatically. The /var/tmp directory is also a temporary directory, in which files that are not accessed, changed, or modified in more than 30 days are deleted automatically. |
| /usr | Installed software, shared libraries, including files, and read-only program data. Significant subdirectories in the /usr directory include the following commands: /usr/bin: User commands /usr/sbin: System administration commands /usr/local: Locally customized software |
| /var | System-specific variable data should persist between boots. Files that dynamically change, such as databases, cache directories, log files, printer-spooled documents, and website content, might be found under /var. |
Note
Starting from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, four directories located under / now share the same contents as their counterparts in /usr:
/binand/usr/bin/sbinand/usr/sbin/liband/usr/lib/lib64and/usr/lib64
In earlier versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, these directories held separate sets of files. However, in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and later, the directories under / are symbolic links pointing to the corresponding directories in /usr.
