These are typically used on systems that support more than one executable code format, such as systems supporting 32-bit and 64-bit versions of an instruction set. Such directories are optional, but if they exist, they have some requirements. /media: Mount points for removable media such as CD-ROMs (appeared in FHS-2.3 in 2004). /mnt
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.
In the Plan 9 operating system from Bell Labs (mid-1980s onward), union mounting is a central concept, replacing several older Unix conventions with union directories; for example, several directories containing executables, unioned together at a single /bin directory, replace the PATH variable for command lookup in the shell.
Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) is a software interface for Unix and Unix-like computer operating systems that lets non-privileged users create their own file systems without editing kernel code. This is achieved by running file system code in user space while the FUSE module provides only a bridge to the actual kernel interfaces.
Unionfs is a filesystem service for Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD which implements a union mount for other file systems.It allows files and directories of separate file systems, known as branches, to be transparently overlaid, forming a single coherent file system.
The “@domain” part of the user name could be used to indicate which authority allocated a particular name, for example in form of a Kerberos realm name; an Active Directory domain name; the name of an operating-system vendor (for distribution-specific allocations) the name of a computer (for device-specific allocations)
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 ...
The need and specification of a kernel mode Linux union mount filesystem was identified in late 2009. [1] The initial RFC patchset of OverlayFS was submitted by Miklos Szeredi in 2010. [2] By 2011, OpenWrt had already adopted it for their use. [3] It was merged into the Linux kernel mainline in 2014, in kernel version 3.18.
