Both refer to the same physical location. So if I created one file 'test' in first
path, when i cd to /vikas/cdedev/app and do a ls -ltr, i see the 'test' file
When I do a df -k . on 1 and 2 above, i get the same mount point which is as follows:
/vikas/cdedev/app
Now, I am perhaps taking a long shot, but the most logical reasoning I can give myself is mount point is nothign but actual physical location in hard drive whereas directories are logical pointers to mount points. So 1 and 2 above are logical pointers to the same physical location. In other words, they point to the same mount point.
I might be way off. In any case, can somebody throw some light on following:
a. concept of mount point as well as Unix file system?
b. Is it possible to see which directories refer to one particular mount point by some unix command?
Everything sprouts from a "root partition". When nothing's mounted but the root, it acts much like you'd think it would. Files are files, directories are directories.
Directories can be mount points. Mount a partition on a directory, and you see the contents of the partition. This lets you put partitions wherever you please, which is handy.
You can't mount the same partition twice, however! Could you post the output of:
I think one of them must be a symbolic link, sort of the file-equivalent of a hyperlink.
Also, you can list what directories currently have things mounted on them with:
I did not know that you could create soft links for directories as well. Thanks again for your reply.
No problem. There's no limit on what kind of files you can symlink because all a symlink contains, is a path. It'll even let you link to files that don't exist, though they'll fail to open when you use them, much like a webpage 404.

Dear All,
We have two different mount points in Linux NFS one is 15 TB and another one is 15 TB.
Can we club both of the two mount points and club in to a single volume in Linux.
As we need to restore Database in that single volume.
Kindly help us on this.
Regards ,
