Linux File Systems Versus Windows-Based File Systems
Although similar in many ways, the Linux file system has some striking differences from file systems used in MS-DOS and Windows operating systems.
There are a few:
In MS-DOS and Windows file systems, drive letters represent different storage
devices (for example, A: is a floppy drive and C: is a hard disk).
In Linux, all storage
devices are fit into the file system hierarchy. So, the fact that all of /usr may be on
a separate hard disk or that /mnt/rem1 is a file system from another computer is
invisible to the user.
