    You might want to output it to a file as it will be very large for the whole system:

    find ./ -type d -ls
    You might try also the option given in post 3 at this site:

    In case your current working directory is not /, and you want to see all the directories on the filesystem, modify that command to remove the '.', e.g.:
    Code:
    find / -type d -ls > /tmp/all_dirs.txt
    Is there some reason why you want to know this, btw? If you're just looking for a place to "get started", you might want to check out the RHEL documentation site.
