Questions about linux root file system.
- by smwikipedia
I read the manual page of the "mount" command, at it reads as below:
All files accessible in a Unix
system are arranged in one big tree,
the file hierarchy, rooted at /.
These files can be spread out over
several
devices. The mount command serves to attach the file system found
on some device to the big file tree.
My questions are:
Where is this "big tree" located?
Suppose I have 2 disks, if I mount them onto some point in the "big tree", does linux place some "special marks" in the mount point to indicate that these 2 "mount directories" are indeed seperate disks?
