  1. Purpose of / on /bin And /sbin Now Dynamically Linked In FreeBSD · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I thought *nix was designed as:

    / - minimum required to boot and repair system

    /usr - other binaries included on default distro

    /usr/local or /opt - packages added above and beyond the distro

    If your system ever became damaged, you booted to / and fixed it. If / is too large, then audit what's in there and make sure it contains the bare minimum required.

    Adding /rescue is unnecessarily cluttering up the system.
