# Concept — Two-drive model
|
||
|
||
Bare OS splits the world into two **Hyperdrives** so you can **replicate the OS image** without forking everyone’s private state.
|
||
|
||
## System drive
|
||
|
||
- Holds the **stock tree**: `/boot`, `/bin`, kernel bundles, `man` JSON, optional `/lib/bare` bundles.
|
||
- Treated as **image policy** — you replicate it from peers like a read-mostly artifact.
|
||
|
||
## Personal drive
|
||
|
||
- Holds **per-machine mutable state**: your **`$HOME`**, **`/.bare`** (identity, policy blobs guests may not see), session-scoped **`/tmp`**, **`/var/log`**, history, and anything that should not be overwritten when the system image updates.
|
||
- In account-prefix mode (**`BARE_OS_PERSONAL_ACCT_PREFIX=1`**), user state is routed under **`/.bare-os/acct/<principal>/...`** so multiple principals can share one personal drive without path collisions.
|
||
|
||
## VFS routing (mental model)
|
||
|
||
The booter-backed VFS **mounts both** and **routes paths**: home + account-prefixed state, **`/.bare`**, session **`/tmp`**, and **`/var/log`** land on the personal drive; the rest of the POSIX-shaped tree comes from the system image. Exact policy and edge cases live in the booter reference and handbook.
