- <title>Creating Directories</title>
- <para>It is time to create some structure in the LFS file system. Create a
- standard directory tree by issuing the following commands:</para>
- <screen><userinput>mkdir -pv /{bin,boot,etc/{opt,sysconfig},home,lib,mnt,opt,run}
- mkdir -pv /{media/{floppy,cdrom},sbin,srv,var}
- install -dv -m 0750 /root
- install -dv -m 1777 /tmp /var/tmp
- mkdir -pv /usr/{,local/}{bin,include,lib,sbin,src}
- mkdir -pv /usr/{,local/}share/{doc,info,locale,man}
- mkdir -v /usr/{,local/}share/{misc,terminfo,zoneinfo}
- mkdir -pv /usr/{,local/}share/man/man{1..8}
- for dir in /usr /usr/local; do
- ln -sv share/{man,doc,info} $dir
- done
- case $(uname -m) in
- x86_64) ln -sv lib /lib64 && ln -sv lib /usr/lib64 ;;
- esac
- mkdir -v /var/{log,mail,spool}
- ln -sv /run /var/run
- ln -sv /run/lock /var/lock
- mkdir -pv /var/{opt,cache,lib/{misc,locate},local}</userinput></screen>
- <para>Directories are, by default, created with permission mode 755, but
- this is not desirable for all directories. In the commands above, two
- changes are made—one to the home directory of user <systemitem
- class="username">root</systemitem>, and another to the directories for
- temporary files.</para>
- <para>The first mode change ensures that not just anybody can enter
- the <filename class="directory">/root</filename> directory—the
- same as a normal user would do with his or her home directory. The
- second mode change makes sure that any user can write to the
- <filename class="directory">/tmp</filename> and <filename
- class="directory">/var/tmp</filename> directories, but cannot remove
- another user's files from them. The latter is prohibited by the so-called
- <quote>sticky bit,</quote> the highest bit (1) in the 1777 bit mask.</para>
- <sect2>
- <title>FHS Compliance Note</title>
- <para>The directory tree is based on the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS)
- (available at <ulink url="http://www.pathname.com/fhs/"/>). In addition to
- the FHS, we create compatibility symlinks for the <filename
- class="directory">man</filename>, <filename
- class="directory">doc</filename>, and <filename
- class="directory">info</filename> directories since many packages still try
- to install their documentation into <filename
- class="directory">/usr/<directory></filename> or <filename
- class="directory">/usr/local/<directory></filename> as opposed to
- <filename class="directory">/usr/share/<directory></filename> or
- <filename class="directory">/usr/local/share/<directory></filename>.
- The FHS also stipulates the existence of <filename
- class="directory">/usr/local/games</filename> and <filename
- class="directory">/usr/share/games</filename>. The FHS is not precise as to
- the structure of the <filename class="directory">/usr/local/share</filename>
- subdirectory, so we create only the directories that are needed. However,
- feel free to create these directories if you prefer to conform more strictly
- to the FHS.</para>
