the Network File System (NFS). For information about configuring your
type of file system (UFS or NFS), see the System Administration manual.
Most commands you use to manage disks are the same on a DIGITAL UNIX
system as they are on an ULTRIX system. This section compares disk and
file system maintenance on the two systems, and points out differences.
4.8.1 DIGITAL UNIX Directory Structure
The directory hierarchy on a DIGITAL UNIX system is different from that
on an ULTRIX system. Figure 4–1 shows many of the directories in the
DIGITAL UNIX directory structure.

As Figure 4–1 shows, many of the directories in the DIGITAL UNIX file
system structure are identical to the ULTRIX file system structure. The
following list points out important differences:
1 On DIGITAL UNIX systems, the /bin directory is a link to the
/usr/bin directory.
2 Many system administration commands have moved out of the /etc
directory and into either the /sbin or /usr/sbin directory.
The /etc/ifconfig command is linked symbolically to
../sbin/ifconfig.
