  2. du (Unix) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Du_(Unix)

    By default, the Single UNIX Specification (SUS) specifies that du is to display the file space allocated to each file and directory contained in the current directory. Links will be displayed as the size of the link file, not what is being linked to; the size of the content of directories is displayed, as expected.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dev/full

    Support for the always-full device in Linux is documented as early as 2007. [2] Native support was added to FreeBSD in the 11.0 release in 2016, [3] which had previously supported it through an optional module called lindev. [3] [4] The full device appeared in NetBSD 8. [5]

  4. Filesystem Hierarchy Standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard

    According to the FHS version 2.3, such data were stored in /var/run, but this was a problem in some cases because this directory is not always available at early boot. As a result, these programs have had to resort to trickery, such as using /dev/.udev , /dev/.mdadm , /dev/.systemd or /dev/.mount directories, even though the device directory is ...

  5. 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 ...

    View of the root directory in the OpenIndiana operating system. In a computer file system, and primarily used in the Unix and Unix-like operating systems, the root directory is the first or top-most directory in a hierarchy. [1] It can be likened to the trunk of a tree, as the starting point where all branches originate from.

  7. GParted - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gparted

    GParted is not capable of cloning an entire disk, but only one partition at a time. The file system being cloned should not be mounted. GParted clones partitions at the filesystem-level, and as a result is capable of cloning different target-size partitions for the same source, as long as the size of the source filesystem does not exceed the ...

  8. Memory-mapped file - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory-mapped_file

    A memory-mapped file is a segment of virtual memory [1] that has been assigned a direct byte-for-byte correlation with some portion of a file or file-like resource. This resource is typically a file that is physically present on disk, but can also be a device, shared memory object, or other resource that an operating system can reference through a file descriptor.
