Docker uses file systems inspired by Unionfs, such as Aufs, to layer Docker images. As actions are done to a base image, layers are created and documented, such that each layer fully describes how to recreate an action. This strategy enables Docker's lightweight images, as only layer updates need to be propagated (compared to full VMs, for ...
A mount point is a location in the partition used as a root filesystem. Many different types of storage exist, including magnetic, magneto-optical, optical, and semiconductor (solid-state) drives. Many different types of storage exist, including magnetic, magneto-optical, optical, and semiconductor (solid-state) drives.
Volume management treats each PV as being composed of a sequence of chunks called physical extents (PEs). Some volume managers (such as that in HP-UX and Linux) have PEs of a uniform size; others (such as that in Veritas) have variably-sized PEs that can be split and merged at will. Normally, PEs simply map one-to-one to logical extents (LEs ...

To bring a volume group online, the "vgchange" tool: Searches for PVs in all available block devices. Parses the metadata header in each PV found. Computes the layouts of all visible volume groups. Loops over each logical volume in the volume group to be brought online and: Checks if the logical volume to be brought online has all its PVs visible.
A cloud storage gateway is a hybrid cloud storage device, implemented in hardware or software, which resides at the customer premises and translates cloud storage APIs such as SOAP or REST to block-based storage protocols such as iSCSI or Fibre Channel or file-based interfaces such as NFS or SMB.
The mounted volume is not limited to the NTFS filesystem but can be formatted with any file system supported by Microsoft Windows. However, though these are similar to POSIX mount points found in Unix and Unix-like systems, they only support local filesystems; on Windows Vista and later versions of Windows, NTFS symbolic links can be used to ...
Inherited from the design of Nix, most of the content of the package manager is kept in a directory /gnu/store where only the Guix daemon has write-access. This is achieved via specialised bind mounts, where the Store as a file system is mounted read only, prohibiting interference even from the root user, while the Guix daemon remounts the Store as read/writable in its own private namespace.
