  2. Union mount - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_mount

    Renaming a file within a single mounted file system (using the rename system call) should be an atomic operation, but renaming within a union mount can require changes to multiple of the union's constituent directories. A possible solution is to disallow rename in such situations and require implementations to copy-and-delete instead. [2]

  3. archivemount - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archivemount

    archivemount is a FUSE-based file system for Unix variants, including Linux. Its purpose is to mount archives (e.g. tar, tar.gz, etc.) to a mount point where it can be read from or written to as with any other file system. This makes accessing the contents of the archive, which may be compressed, transparent to other programs, without ...

  4. NTFS reparse point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_reparse_point

    Reparse points provide a way to extend the NTFS filesystem. A reparse point contains a reparse tag and data that are interpreted by a filesystem filter driver identified by the tag. Microsoft includes several default tags including NTFS symbolic links, directory junction points, volume mount points and Unix domain sockets.

  5. OverlayFS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OverlayFS

    Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD [citation needed] OverlayFS is a union mount filesystem implementation for Linux. It combines multiple different underlying mount points into one, resulting in single directory structure that contains underlying files and sub-directories from all sources.

  6. NTFS links - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_links

    Junction points are NTFS reparse points and operate similarly to symbolic links in Unix or Linux, but are only defined for directories, and may only be absolute paths on local filesystems (as opposed to remote filesystems being accessed). They are created and behave in a similar way to hard links, except that if the target directory is renamed ...

  7. mv (Unix) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mv_(Unix)

    Note that, in the above example, /mnt referred to the directory (the "mount point") over which a given file system is mounted. Naming such directories /mnt is a popular convention but is by no means necessary. A "file system" can be thought of as an independent tree that is logically regarded as a unit; its root is "mounted" atop a directory of ...

  8. Rename (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rename_(computing)

    The C standard library provides a function called rename which does this action. [1] In POSIX, which is extended from the C standard, the rename function will fail if the old and new names are on different mounted file systems. [2] In SQL, renames are performed by using the CHANGE specification in ALTER TABLE statements.

  9. NTFS volume mount point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_volume_mount_point

    Mount points can be created in a directory on an NTFS file system, which gives a reference to the root directory of the mounted volume. Any empty directory can be converted to a mount point. The mounted volume is not limited to the NTFS filesystem but can be formatted with any file system supported by Microsoft Windows.
