Mount points can be created in a
directory on an NTFS
file system, which gives a reference to the
root directory of the mounted volume. Any empty directory can be converted to a mount point. The mounted volume is not limited to the NTFS filesystem but can be formatted with any file system supported by
Microsoft Windows. However, though these are similar to POSIX
mount points found in Unix and Unix-like systems, they only support local filesystems; on
Windows Vista and later versions of Windows,
NTFS symbolic links can be used to link local directories to remote
SMB network paths. == See also ==
