Details

Part of the problem with Linux systems is the diverse and varied ways in which user data is stored on the system. Because of a long legacy with Unix/POSIX standards, code ends up being placed in varied locations across the file system. The Storage Manager maps these varied locations to one central store. The data can still be accessed via the legacy file location, but the actual data is stored in a different part of the file system.
