Filesystem Standards
In the past, one of the problems that afflicted Linux distributions,
as well as the packages of software running on Linux, was the lack of
a single accepted filesystem layout. This resulted in
incompatibilities between different packages, and confronted users
and administrators with the task of locating various files and
programs. To improve this
situation, in August 1993, several people formed the Linux File
System Standard Group (FSSTND). After six months of discussion, the
group created a draft that presents a coherent filesystem structure
and defines the location of the most essential programs and
configuration files.This standard was supposed to have been implemented by most major
Linux distributions and packages. It is a little unfortunate that,
while most distributions have made some attempt to work toward the
FSSTND, there is a very small number of distributions that has
actually adopted it fully. Throughout this book, we will assume that
any files discussed reside in the location specified by the standard;
alternative locations will be mentioned only when there is a long
tradition that conflicts with this specification. The Linux FSSTND continued to develop,
but was replaced by the Linux File Hierarchy Standard (FHS) in 1997.
The FHS addresses the multi-architecture issues that the FSSTND did
not. The FHS can be obtained from http://www.freestandards.org.
