### Filesystem Layout
Finit is most comfortable with a traditional style Linux filesystem
layout, as specified in the [FHS][]:
/.
|- bin/
|- dev/ # Mounted automatically if devtmpfs is available
| |- pts/ # Mounted automatically by Finit if it exists
| `- shm/ # Mounted automatically by Finit if it exists
|- etc/
|- home/
|- lib/
|- libexec/
|- mnt/
|- proc/ # Mounted automatically by Finit if it exists
|- root/
|- run/ # Mounted automatically by Finit if it exists
| `- lock/ # Created automatically if Finit mounts /run
|- sbin/
|- sys/ # Mounted automatically by Finit if it exists
|- tmp/ # Mounted automatically by Finit if it exists
|- usr/
`- var/
|- cache/
|- db/
|- lib/
| `- misc/
|- lock/
|- log/
|- run -> ../run
|- spool/
`- tmp/
Finit starts (very early) by mounting `/dev`, `/proc/`, and `/sys`,
unless they (i.e., `/dev`) are already mounted. When all plugins and
other, core Finit functions, have been set up, all relevant filesystems
(`PASS > 0`) are checked and mounted from the selected `fstab`, either
the default `/etc/fstab`, or any custom one selected from the command
line, or at build time.
Any file system not listed `fstab` are automatically mounted by Finit,
as listed above, provided their respective mount point exists.
With all filesystems mounted, Finit calls `swapon`.
At shutdown, and after having stopped all services and other lingering
processes killed, filesystems are unmounted in the reverse order, and
`swapoff` is called.
