Except, of course, that /etc/init and /bin/sh being on "their own partitions" is the opposite of what was actually the case in the original filesystem hierarchy

Except, of course, that /etc/init and /bin/sh being on "their own partitions" is the opposite of what was actually the case in the original filesystem hierarchy. (Hint: Yes, /etc/init not /sbin/init .)
- thaumaturgy 11y ago[root@mail /]# ls -laF /etc/init ls: cannot access /etc/init: No such file or directory Sorry, I don't follow what you're saying. Or why that would make putting everything under /Programs better for that matter.
- cesarb 11y agoI believe that what JdeBP is refering to is that, before /sbin existed, the binary which is now at /sbin/init used to be at /etc/init, if I recall correctly what I once read in an old FSSTND rationale.
- thaumaturgy 11y agoHuh, interesting. If that's the case, it's new to me. Neat.
