12 |
|

13 | <para>It is time to create some structure in the CLFS file system. Create a
|
---|
14 | standard directory tree by issuing the following commands:</para>
|
---|
15 |
|
---|
16 | <screen><userinput>mkdir -pv ${CLFS}/{bin,boot,dev,{etc/,}opt,home,lib/{firmware,modules},mnt}
|
---|
17 | mkdir -pv ${CLFS}/{proc,media/{floppy,cdrom},sbin,srv,sys}
|
---|
18 | mkdir -pv ${CLFS}/var/{lock,log,mail,run,spool}
|
---|
19 | mkdir -pv ${CLFS}/var/{opt,cache,lib/{misc,locate},local}
|
---|
20 | install -dv -m 0750 ${CLFS}/root
|
---|
21 | install -dv -m 1777 ${CLFS}{/var,}/tmp
|
---|
22 | mkdir -pv ${CLFS}/usr/{,local/}{bin,include,lib,sbin,src}
|
---|
23 | mkdir -pv ${CLFS}/usr/{,local/}share/{doc,info,locale,man}
|
---|
24 | mkdir -pv ${CLFS}/usr/{,local/}share/{misc,terminfo,zoneinfo}
|
---|
25 | mkdir -pv ${CLFS}/usr/{,local/}share/man/man{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
|
---|
26 | for dir in ${CLFS}/usr{,/local}; do
|
---|
27 | ln -sv share/{man,doc,info} ${dir}
|
---|
28 | done</userinput></screen>
|
---|
29 |
|
---|
30 | <para>Directories are, by default, created with permission mode 755, but
|
---|
31 | this is not desirable for all directories. In the commands above, two
|
---|
32 | changes are made—one to the home directory of user <systemitem
|
---|
33 | class="username">root</systemitem>, and another to the directories for
|
---|
34 | temporary files.</para>
|
---|
35 |
|
---|
36 | <para>The first mode change ensures that not just anybody can enter
|
---|
37 | the <filename class="directory">/root</filename> directory—the
|
---|
38 | same as a normal user would do with his or her home directory. The
|
---|
39 | second mode change makes sure that any user can write to the
|
---|
40 | <filename class="directory">/tmp</filename> and <filename
|
---|
41 | class="directory">/var/tmp</filename> directories, but cannot remove
|
---|
42 | another user's files from them. The latter is prohibited by the so-called
|
---|
43 | <quote>sticky bit,</quote> the highest bit (1) in the 1777 bit mask.</para>

46 | <title>FHS Compliance Note</title>
|
---|
47 |
|
---|
48 | <para>The directory tree is based on the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS)
|
---|
49 | (available at <ulink url="http://www.pathname.com/fhs/"/>). In addition to
|
---|
50 | the FHS, we create compatibility symlinks for the <filename
|
---|
51 | class="directory">man</filename>, <filename
|
---|
52 | class="directory">doc</filename>, and <filename
|
---|
53 | class="directory">info</filename> directories since many packages still try
|
---|
54 | to install their documentation into <filename
|
---|
55 | class="directory">/usr/<directory></filename> or <filename
|
---|
56 | class="directory">/usr/local/<directory></filename> as opposed to
|
---|
57 | <filename class="directory">/usr/share/<directory></filename> or
|
---|
58 | <filename class="directory">/usr/local/share/<directory></filename>.
|
---|
59 | The FHS also stipulates the existence of <filename
|
---|
60 | class="directory">/usr/local/games</filename> and <filename
|
---|
61 | class="directory">/usr/share/games</filename>. The FHS is not precise as to
|
---|
62 | the structure of the <filename class="directory">/usr/local/share</filename>
|
---|
63 | subdirectory, so we create only the directories that are needed. However,
|
---|
64 | feel free to create these directories if you prefer to conform more strictly
|
---|
65 | to the FHS.</para>
