When the medium (or media, when the filesystem is a volume filesystem as in RAID arrays) is mounted, these metadata are read by the operating system so that it can use the storage. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Unix-like operating systems often include software and tools that assist in the mounting process and provide it new functionality.
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 ...
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 ...
In these two examples, a file called "Track 1.mp3" stored in the root directory of the mounted volume could be referred to as "F:\Track 1.mp3" or "C:\Music\Track 1.mp3", respectively. In order to assign a mount point for a volume as a path within another volume, the following criteria must be met: The mounted-to volume must be formatted NTFS.
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 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.
Enterprise Volume Management System (EVMS) was a flexible, integrated volume management software used to manage storage systems under Linux. Its features include: Handle EVMS, Linux LVM and LVM2 volumes; Handle many kinds of disk partitioning schemes; Handle many different file systems (Ext2, Ext3, FAT, JFS, NTFS, OCFS2, OpenGFS, ReiserFS, Swap ...
