Automounter
An automounter is any program or software facility which automatically mounts filesystems in response to access operations by user programs.
See Mount (computing) and Automounter
CD-ROM
A CD-ROM (compact disc read-only memory) is a type of read-only memory consisting of a pre-pressed optical compact disc that contains data computers can read—but not write or erase—CD-ROMs.
See Mount (computing) and CD-ROM
Computer data storage
Computer data storage or digital data storage is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media that are used to retain digital data.
See Mount (computing) and Computer data storage
Computer file
In computing, a computer file is a resource for recording data on a computer storage device, primarily identified by its filename. Mount (computing) and computer file are computer file systems.
See Mount (computing) and Computer file
Directory (computing)
In computing, a directory is a file system cataloging structure which contains references to other computer files, and possibly other directories. Mount (computing) and directory (computing) are computer file systems.
See Mount (computing) and Directory (computing)
Disk partitioning
Disk partitioning or disk slicing is the creation of one or more regions on secondary storage, so that each region can be managed separately.
See Mount (computing) and Disk partitioning
File system
In computing, a file system or filesystem (often abbreviated to FS or fs) governs file organization and access. Mount (computing) and file system are computer file systems.
See Mount (computing) and File system
Fstab
fstab (after file systems table) is a system file commonly found in the directory /etc on Unix and Unix-like computer systems.
See Mount (computing) and Fstab
Hard disk drive
A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive, or fixed disk is an electro-mechanical data storage device that stores and retrieves digital data using magnetic storage with one or more rigid rapidly rotating platters coated with magnetic material.
See Mount (computing) and Hard disk drive
Metadata
Metadata (or metainformation) is "data that provides information about other data", but not the content of the data itself, such as the text of a message or the image itself.
See Mount (computing) and Metadata
Mount (computing)
Mounting is a process by which a computer's operating system makes files and directories on a storage device (such as hard drive, CD-ROM, or network share) available for users to access via the computer's file system. Mount (computing) and Mount (computing) are computer file systems.
See Mount (computing) and Mount (computing)
Mount (Unix)
In computing, mount is a command in various operating systems.
See Mount (computing) and Mount (Unix)
Operating system
An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources, and provides common services for computer programs.
See Mount (computing) and Operating system
RAID
RAID ("redundant array of inexpensive disks" or "redundant array of independent disks") is a data storage virtualization technology that combines multiple physical disk drive components into one or more logical units for the purposes of data redundancy, performance improvement, or both.
See Mount (computing) and RAID
Shared resource
In computing, a shared resource, or network share, is a computer resource made available from one host to other hosts on a computer network.
See Mount (computing) and Shared resource
Shutdown (computing)
To shut down or power off a computer is to remove power from a computer's main components in a controlled way.
See Mount (computing) and Shutdown (computing)
Sneakernet
Sneakernet, also called sneaker net, is an informal term for the transfer of electronic information by physically moving media such as magnetic tape, floppy disks, optical discs, USB flash drives or external hard drives between computers, rather than transmitting it over a computer network.
See Mount (computing) and Sneakernet
USB mass storage device class
The USB mass storage device class (also known as USB MSC or UMS) is a set of computing communications protocols, specifically a USB Device Class, defined by the USB Implementers Forum that makes a USB device accessible to a host computing device and enables file transfers between the host and the USB device.
See Mount (computing) and USB mass storage device class
Virtual file system
A virtual file system (VFS) or virtual filesystem switch is an abstract layer on top of a more concrete file system. Mount (computing) and virtual file system are computer file systems.
See Mount (computing) and Virtual file system
