Hello fellow avid linux users,

My name is Chi, and I am Scott's linux "apprentice", so please expect
some of my posts to be rather rudimentary - thanks & I'd appreciate
any of your valuable advice and tutelage as a linux newbie.

I recently learned about devices, types, and mounting them. What
physically happens when a device is "mounted"? Does it just get a
directory location, or is it somehow "activated?" Also, what role does
a filesystem play in this?

Thanks for your help,


~Chi Zeng
