2.1.1 Freeway Disk Partitions
The Freeway server disk drive consists of either a flash drive or a rotating disk drive. The
disk drive contains a small DOS partition for booting and a larger UNIX partition for
the Freeway server software. The UNIX partition is divided into several sub-partitions
by the FreeBSD OS. The following are the partitions that are relevant to SRA develop-
ment:
/usr
This partition contains all the source code for programs devel-
oped on the Freeway server. It also contains the DLI and TSI
library source code and make files. This partition is always
mounted as READ ONLY when the Freeway server boots up
and runs. In order to develop software in this partition, it must
be mounted as READ/WRITE during development, then
mounted as READ ONLY again when development is com-
plete.
/tmp
This partition is created as a RAM DISK partition. That is, it is
a section of RAM memory made to look like a disk partition.
This partition holds a copy of the boot and executable files used
by the Freeway server. This partition is always mounted
READ/WRITE. This is a temporary partition that is deleted
and recreated each time the Freeway server is booted.
/var
This partition is created as a READ/WRITE partition and is
mainly used for system logging, capture data storage, cron, and
similar applications. On standard Freeway servers, this parti-
tion is created in RAM memory inside the /tmp partition.
