Solaris Transition Guide

Command Locations

In previous SunOS releases, all file system commands were located in the /etc directory. In the SunOS release 5.7 software, file system commands are organized into separate hierarchies for convenience. All of the file system commands are included in /usr/lib/fs/fstype. Commands needed before /usr is mounted are duplicated in /etc/fs/fstype.

The generic commands are located in /usr/sbin. The commands needed before /usr is mounted are duplicated in /sbin.

Table 9-5 lists the locations of the file-system commands.
