General info:
- iPhone firmware 1.1.4
- Jailbroken using ZiPhone
- iBrickr fix installed
- Using iPhoneBrowser v1.5.2.0 under Windows XP

I just installed SummerBoard and a bunch of themes. Then, I opened up iPhoneBrowser to manually copy a custom theme over, but I noticed that there are two folders containing all of my SummerBoard themes:

/var/mobile/library/summerboard/themes

...and...

/private/var/mobile/library/summerboard/themes

From what I can tell, both folders are identical. As a matter of fact, there's more than just SummerBoard stuff in both folders. Each one has identical folders for: /AddressBook/, /Caches/, /CallHistory/, /Cookies/, /Installer/, /Mail/, /Maps/, etc...

So, it's like there are two copies of everything on my iPhone... One copy in /private/var/mobile/library/* and the other in /var/mobile/library/*.

Can anyone tell me why there are duplicates of everything? Which one should I use for my SummerBoard themes? If this is "working as designed", it doesn't seem like a very efficient use of storage space to me...

Thanks!

Because it is the same folder! It is different paths to the same folder.

It is not doubled up.

Whew! I figured that's what was going on, but I don't know anything about the iPhone's directory structure, so I wanted to make sure before I did anything!

Thanks for the quick reply!
