  2. File-system permissions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File-system_permissions

    The read permission grants the ability to read a file. When set for a directory, this permission grants the ability to read the names of files in the directory, but not to find out any further information about them such as contents, file type, size, ownership, permissions. The write permission grants the ability to modify a file. When set for ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAT_filesystem_and_Linux

    Linux is not bootstrapped directly from a Volume Boot Record in such a scenario. Instead DOS is first bootstrapped, and loadlin or linld is used to then bootstrap Linux from DOS. [4] The convention for such an installation is for the Linux root directory to be a subdirectory of the root directory of the DOS boot volume, e.g. C:\LINUX.

  4. Unix filesystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_filesystem

    The filesystem appears as one rooted tree of directories. [1] Instead of addressing separate volumes such as disk partitions, removable media, and network shares as separate trees (as done in DOS and Windows: each drive has a drive letter that denotes the root of its file system tree), such volumes can be mounted on a directory, causing the volume's file system tree to appear as that directory ...

  5. chmod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod

    Adds read and execute permissions for all classes chmod u=rw,g=r,o= internalPlan.txt: Sets read and write permission for user, sets read for Group, and denies access for Others: chmod -R u+w,go-w docs: Adds write permission to the directory docs and all its contents (i.e. Recursively) for owner, and removes write permission for group and others

  6. Drive letter assignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_letter_assignment

    If more than two physical floppy drives are present, DOS versions prior to 5.0 will assign subsequent drive letters, whereas DOS 5.0 and higher will remap these drives to higher drive letters at a later stage; see below. Assign a drive letter to the first active primary partition recognized upon the first physical hard disk.

  7. Unix security - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_security

    Sudo command on Ubuntu to temporarily assume root privileges. Most Unix and Unix-like systems have an account or group which enables a user to exact complete control over the system, often known as a root account. If access to this account is gained by an unwanted user, this results in a complete breach of the system.

  8. NTFS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS

    In NTFS, all file, directory and metafile data—file name, creation date, access permissions (by the use of access control lists), and size—are stored as metadata in the Master File Table (MFT). This abstract approach allowed easy addition of file system features during Windows NT's development—an example is the addition of fields for ...

  9. Filesystem Hierarchy Standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard

    Modern Linux distributions include a /sys directory as a virtual filesystem (sysfs, comparable to /proc, which is a procfs), which stores and allows modification of the devices connected to the system, [20] whereas many traditional Unix-like operating systems use /sys as a symbolic link to the kernel source tree.
