Figure 1-7 Volumes, directories, and files
In addition to such NetWare file system features as volumes, directories,
subdirectories and files, NetWare also provides for file attributes and trustee
assignments.
Volume. The highest level in the NetWare file system. To NetWare Services
users, a volume appears much like a hard disk in a stand-alone system.
Because HP-UX does not recognize the concept of volumes, NetWare
Services volumes represent paths to a particular point, called a volume
mount point, in the HP-UX file system.
NetWare users accessing these volume mount points can, as rights permit,
access everything below the mount point. Everything above the mount point
will be invisible to NetWare users but visible to HP-UX users.
Directory. An area within a volume that stores files or other directories.
Directories-within-directories are called subdirectories.
A directory can contain any number of files and subdirectories.
