  2. mount (Unix) - Wikipedia

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

    The mount command instructs the operating system that a file system is ready to use, and associates it with a particular point in the overall file system hierarchy (its mount point) and sets options relating to its access. Mounting makes file systems, files, directories, devices and special files available for use and available to the user.

  3. Mount (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    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.

  4. Filesystem Hierarchy Standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard

    Mount points for removable media such as CD-ROMs (appeared in FHS-2.3 in 2004). /mnt: Temporarily mounted filesystems. /opt: Add-on application software packages. [7] /proc: Virtual filesystem providing process and kernel information as files. In Linux, corresponds to a procfs mount. Generally, automatically generated and populated by the ...

  5. Unix filesystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_filesystem

    Stands for binaries and contains certain fundamental utilities, such as ls or cp, that are needed to mount /usr, when that is a separate filesystem, or to run in one-user (administrative) mode when /usr cannot be mounted. In System V.4, this is a symlink to /usr/bin. Otherwise, it needs to be on the root filesystem itself. /boot

  6. fstab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab

    fstab (after file systems table) is a system file commonly found in the directory /etc on Unix and Unix-like computer systems. In Linux, it is part of the util-linux package. The fstab file typically lists all available disk partitions and other types of file systems and data sources that may not necessarily be disk-based, and indicates how they are to be initialized or otherwise integrated ...

  7. 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.

  8. Loop device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_device

    The first operation may be performed by programs such as losetup [8] in Linux, or lofiadm [9] in SunOS. As an example, if example.img is a regular file containing a file system and /home/you/dir is a Linux user's directory, the superuser (root) may mount the file on the directory by executing the following two commands:

  9. umask - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask

    In the Linux kernel, the fat, hfs, hpfs, ntfs, and udf file system drivers support a umask mount option, which controls how the disk information is mapped to permissions. This is not the same as the per-process mask described above, although the permissions are calculated in a similar way.
