Subject: [9fans] cdrom floppy tape etc, media mount point
Date: Fri, 12 Jul 2002 11:07:28 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020712020804.559A419A1C@mail.cse.psu.edu> (raw)
This is not so important, I know. However it annoyes me offen, particularly
when I need to explain it to newbies. I remember some discussions
were undertaken here before, but I don't see the difference in the
new release. I suppose none did not pay attention so much to this. :-)
/n is for mount points of file trees from network.
/mnt is for mount points of user level file severs.
Then, where can we put local floppy(a:, b: etc.) or disks other than
kfs filesystem? If we could have another directory such as /media
or just /m, we can push out all the local stuffs into it. Even if those
are imported from network, the name of m or media will not suffer
from unmatched naming. Then, we don't need /mnt/cd, either.
This does not deny to have those names under /n, of course.
However it may annoy many of newbies.
Then, /m could have directories of
9
9fat
a:
b:
c:
d:
cd
tapefs
boot
kfs
What is for a, b, c, by the way?
