This chapter describes the important parts of a standard
Linux directory tree, based on the FSSTND filesystem
standard. It outlines the normal way of breaking the directory
tree into separate filesystems with different purposes and gives
the motivation behind this particular split. Some alternative
ways of splitting are also described.
