    The Linux Directory structure ...

    and links to other goodies.

    Or, more definitively, the File Hierarchy Standard:

    Re: The Linux Directory structure ...

    A good one on logs, but as the header indicates, needs some help. Good to get started, though:

      There is also a version 3.0 of the FHS in the works:
      http://www.linuxfoundation.org/colla...groups/lsb/fhs

      Some suggested changes:
      http://bugs.linux-foundation.org/sho...ree.cgi?id=758

      One of the bigger (suggested) changes is top level /run instead of /var/run (and various other directories), which is already a goal for debian (which means it'll probably drizzle to *buntus as well):

        Right -- Debian Sid transitioned to FHS 3 about 2 months ago. The transition was a little bumpy for folks running a rolling release, but I would suppose *buntu will choose a version to incorporate the new structure. The bottom line:

        "/run is a new cross-distribution location for the storage of transient writable files needed from system startup to shutdown, but which do not require preserving across reboots. This location is a replacement for several existing locations in the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard."

            The udev daemon (udevd) in oneiric is already looking for /run/udev, and since it isn't there it falls back to /dev/.udev.

            The error is harmless, since it nicely falls back to /dev/.udev, but it shows the change is underway in debian and how it flows downstream to derivatives.
