Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) Previously, you learned thatthe Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) isthe component of Linux that organizes data ‘The FHS is important because it defines how directories, directory contents, and other storage is organized in the operating system, This diagram illustrates the hierarchy of relationships under the FHS: Under the FHS, file's location can be described by a file path. A file path isthe location of ale or directory. Inthe file path, the different levels ofthe hierarchy are separated by a forward slash () Root directory The root directory isthe highest-Level directory in Linux, andi’ always represented with a forward slash (/). AL subdirectories branch off the root directory. Subdirectories can continue branching out to as many levels as necessary. ‘Standard FHS directories Directly below the root directory, you'lfind standard FHS directories, In the diagram, home, bin, and ete are FHS directories. Here area few examples of what standard directories cor ‘+ /uome: Each user in the system gets ther own home directory. ‘+ osm: This directory stands for “binary” and contains binary files and other executables. Executables are les that contain series of commands a computer needs to follow to run programs and perform ot functions, + fete: Tis directory stores the system's configuration fies + /emp: This directory stores many temporary files. The /tmp directory is commonly used by attackers because anyone in the system can modify data in these files, + fans: This directory stands for “mount” and stores media, such as USB drives and hard drives, Pro Tip: Youcan use theman Ler command to learn more about the FHS and its standard directories. User-specific subdirectories Under home are subdirectories for specific users. In the diagram, these users are analyet and analyst2. Each user has their own personal subdirectories, such as projects, Loge, of reports. Note: When the path leads toa subdirectory below the user's home director, the user's home directory can be represented asthe tilde (-}. For example, /nome/analyst//Logs can also be represented as ~/Logs.
