EECS 1012 Lecture 1 Notes
Introduction
Mounted manually
• Flash drives, CDs, and DVDs are mounted automatically when they are inserted into the
drive.
• Other devices must be mounted manually.
• On older UNIX systems, all directories are mounted manually.
• Thus, it is necessary for the user to issue a MOUNT command when a CD is changed on a
traditional UNIX workstation.
• The mount point also depends on the system. On a Macintosh, all volumes are mounted
on the desktop
• On UNIX and Linux systems, a volume can be mounted anywhere on the directory
structure.
• The Linux file system design allows the mounting of multiple file system types for
transparent access across partitions and, even, across networks.
• It also offers automatic mounting similar to that of the Macintosh.
• An alternative file management model is implemented on the Sun Solaris 10 operating
system.
• Solaris 10 is a UNIX-based system intended for use in medium to large computer
installations.
• This model views disk storage as a single storage pool.
• The storage pool can be shared by multiple file systems, but allocation of file space is
controlled by a single file manager.
• A major feature of this organization is that disks can be added to the pool dynamically as
additional storage is required without modifying the file structure as viewed by the
users.
