Solaris command

[deshun]

What is the difference between some command under /usr/lib/fs/ufs directory and /usr/sbin?
(For example: /usr/lib/fs/ufs/mkfs and /usr/sbub/mkfs etc.).

Thanks in advance.

This is a question probably best answered in the Solaris Unix forum, not the certification forum...but for something to look at...is it linked?

Hi
ony path makes difference but not functionality.

In other unix flavors also u can see the same trend.
No matter

Not quite, the sbin/mkfs is the generic call, where you identify the filesystem type. The other you naem is the one it uses if the filesystem type is ufs.

Generally the [tt]sbin[/tt] directory contains utilities and programs that are statically linked. That is, they don't need to find a run time library to be able to run. These are usually programs and utilities needed during the machine's booting, since partitions with run time libraries may not be mounted when they are needed.

Hope this helps.
