When I was installing Arch Linux, even before I create the partitions if I type lsblk
I get
loop0
Sda (no sub partitions)
Sr0 (CD ROM is mounted)
Now in the terminal when I type pwd
I get
/root
So just being curious I did
ls /
And it showed folders like bin boot dev lib mnt etc
.
So my question is if the partitions aren't made yet and no data is stored, then why does ls /
show all of these folders? At what location in the disk are these folders stored?.
Also, there are already folders for /
/mnt
and /boot
So I'm not able to understand why we make new partitions for root , boot
Then mount these partitions to /mnt
and /boot
Can someone help me with this.
