Line 47:
:: In the case of SCO Unix -- & I'm going on memory here -- it originally had filesystems with names starting with two digits with a string indicating the purpose of the files in the directory. Then, when Santa Cruz decided to adopt Sys V standards, all of these directories were symlinked to the familiar directories (e.g. /bin, /sbin/, /var, etc.). Every other version of UNIX I've worked with -- Solaris, SunOS, FreeBSD, Linux -- has kept pretty close to the standard, although with the occasional quirk, such as /opt. It was strange enough for the general sense to stick in my mind, despite the fact I've since tried to forget as much about SCO Unix as I could. Had this peculiarity been documented under either [[Xenix]] or [[SCO Unix]], I wouldn't think of mentioning it, & I'm not going to push for it even now. However, I think an example or two are worth mentioning in the article as a reason why a filesystem standard was considered a good thing, & likely arose somewhat later in UNIX history. -- [[User:Llywrch|llywrch]] ([[User talk:Llywrch|talk]]) 16:15, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

{{U|Schily}}, why is the description of {{mono|/var/tmp}} "[[Special:Diff/647243973|superfluous text]]"? It's in several of the {{mono|hier(7)}} manpages cited. [[User:Qwertyus|Q<small>VVERTYVS</small>]] <small>([[User talk:Qwertyus|hm?]])</small> 14:40, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
