This article is here to help you find your files you see in file manager but can't seem to find via terminal.

Note: power users should know how to use find, so lets keep this article beginner-friendly!


Location table

File manager path Real path Size of the partition
root / 256MB
space for software installations etc. /home 2GB
Nokia N900 /home/user/MyDocs 27GB
Nokia N900/Documents /home/user/MyDocs/.documents
Nokia N900/Images /home/user/MyDocs/.images
Nokia N900/Sounds /home/user/MyDocs/.sounds
Nokia N900/Videos /home/user/MyDocs/.videos
Memory card /media/mmc1 Memory cards size

And if you still don't find what you're looking for, you can try to use find at terminal as following:

find /path/ -name filename*

Path can be for example / but it will give you errors if you dont have Root access. And if you don't give exact filename, remember to use wildcards(*)!

If you are further interested about the filesystem, please see Unix directory structure article from wikipedia.
