Filesystem-Based Concepts
The UNIX filesystem hierarchy contains a number of different filesystem types including disk-based filesystems such as VxFS and UFS and also pseudo filesystems such as procfs and tmpfs. This chapter describes concepts that relate to filesystems as a whole such as disk partitioning, mounting and unmounting of filesystems, and the main commands that operate on filesystems such as mkfs, mount, fsck, and df.
