while reading about linux,I got the following:
The /var
directory may be put in its own filesystem
so that growth of the files can be accommodated and the file sizes do not fatally affect the system.
when I tried to find out the file system
for /var
by $ df - Th
,I got..
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 ext4 141G 19G 116G 14% /
none tmpfs 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
udev devtmpfs 1.5G 4.0K 1.5G 1% /dev
tmpfs tmpfs 294M 1.2M 293M 1% /run
none tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
none tmpfs 1.5G 38M 1.4G 3% /run/shm
none tmpfs 100M 60K 100M 1% /run/user
here I am not getting /var
on mounted on attribute
, so what type of file system
is associated with /var
exactly? how do I find it?
