How do you mount Linux partition on windows
tonan
- Jul 3rd, 2009
In order to mount LINUX partitions on Windows, you need to use a third party software, Windows does not provide any inbuilt utility for this. Unlike "mount" in UNIX/LINUX Windows does not provide you with a utility to access any other file system.

Hard Link
when a file is copied, both the original and copy occupy separate space on the disk.
unix allows a file to have more than one name and yet maintain a single copy on the disk. The file is then said to have more than one link or name, but all have the same inode number. This is called hard link. All attributes are identical any modification or change in one file is automatically available in the linked file. It provides some protection against accidental deletion. Let there be a file named restore.sh. You need to create another file which provides?as backup to the original file. By creating a link, you create a backup.
unix command used to create hard link?>>ln- backup.sh restore.sh
Soft Link
It doesn't have the file's content but simply provids pathname of that automatically has the contents. This is called as softlink. but incase the original file is deleted we can't get the file's content from the linked file, coz, it just provides the path name of the file. This is also known as symbolic link. Windows shortcuts?are more like symbolic links. The original file and the linked files have different inode nos.
