A disk image is a snapshot of a storage device's structure and data typically stored in one or more computer files on another storage device. [1] [2]Traditionally, disk images were bit-by-bit copies of every sector on a hard disk often created for digital forensic purposes, but it is now common to only copy allocated data to reduce storage space.
Category for shared disk file systems. Shared disk file systems (also cluster file systems or SAN file systems) are file systems that can concurrently share access to a single block device from multiple computers.
ISO 9660 – Extent-based file system for optical disc media; MPE File System – the file system of the Multi-Programming Executive operating system. NTFS – used by Windows; OCFS2 – Oracle Cluster File System – a shared-disk file system for Linux; Reiser4 – Linux file system (in "extents" mode)
Deployment Image Service and Management Tool (DISM) is a tool introduced in Windows 7 [10] and Windows Server 2008 R2 [10] that can perform servicing tasks on a Windows installation image, be it an online image (i.e. the one the user is running) or an offline image within a folder or WIM file. Its features include mounting and unmounting images ...
A shared-disk file system uses a storage area network (SAN) to allow multiple computers to gain direct disk access at the block level. Access control and translation from file-level operations that applications use to block-level operations used by the SAN must take place on the client node.
StorNext File System (SNFS), colloquially referred to as StorNext is a shared disk file system made by Quantum Corporation. StorNext enables multiple Windows, Linux and Apple workstations to access shared block storage over a Fibre Channel network. With the StorNext file system installed, these computers can read and write to the same storage ...
This means that a restart of the pod will wipe out any data on such containers, and therefore, this form of storage is quite limiting in anything but trivial applications. A Kubernetes volume [60] provides persistent storage that exists for the lifetime of the pod itself. This storage can also be used as shared disk space for containers within ...
Differencing hard disk image: a set of modified blocks (maintained in a separate file referred to as the "child image") in comparison to a parent image. The Differencing hard disk image format allows the concept of Undo Changes: when enabled, all changes to a hard drive contained within a VHD (the parent image) are stored in a separate file ...
