As far as accessing them is concerned, they're all directories inside /. Now, they could be ordinary directories, or other disks/partitions mounted onto directories. But they all apear like directories. For simplicity's sake, you might use just directories in /. For reliabilities sake, they may be mount points for different drives, with different mounting options (read-only, etc.). Back in the earlier days of non-gigabyte drives, using different drives per mount might have been advantageous for sizing reasons, alone. When creating the file structure, you'd make a root partition, and create all the directories. If you were using partitions, then you'd create them, mount them into /. Then you'd start putting files on. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
