# # staff-docs/Archive-disks -- of physical disks # # Status: Draft # Author: staff@nic.funet.fi (comments on this doc only) # Created: Sun Sep 5 21:52:19 EET DST 1993 # Last modified: Sun Sep 5 21:52:19 EET DST 1993 # Physical disks (per modification date) We use somewhat wierd internal software to display out users a view of our filesystem which has some resemblance to the real one, but which actually is not.. Non-anonymous non-guest users can see what this means. Public archive is at mountpoint /ftp which actually is a small directory with some control files, several symlinks, subdirs pub, bin, and etc, and naturally subdirs for mountpoints of real archive disks. Physical disks have relative symlinks on them to "../pub/" for all those directories, which are not in there, but rather on some other disk. This way your average user can do: "cd /pub/msdos", "dir .." and don't know immediately that he didn't go to the real "/pub" at all.. Physical disks and their physical subdirs (excluding lost+found) are: /ftp/disk1 METADISK 3.7 GB /amiga /gnu /local /unix /ftp/disk2 REALDISK 1.0 GB /languages /misc (/old_ITR) /ftp/disk3 REALDISK 1.3 GB /X11 /cbm /files /ftp/disk4 REALDISK 1.3 GB /sci /ftp/disk5 METADISK 5.3 GB /OS /TeX /VM /archive /astro /atari /cae /csc /dx /ham /ic /kermit /lyhty /mac /mach /microprocs /minix /os2 /standards /vms /win-nt /ftp/disk6 REALDISK 0.9 GB /pics /ftp/disk7 REALDISK 2.0 GB /msdos /ftp/disk9 REALDISK 2.0 GB /NeXT /culture /doc /netinfo /networking "REALDISK" is a real disk partition "METADISK" is catenation of multiple partitions with SunOS Online: DiskSuite metadisk facility.
