Question

A user checks the free space in a folder, Y:\BusReports, and notices that 3 GB of disk space is reported as available. When the user checks free space in Y:\BusReports\Archive, he notices that 5 GB of disk space is reported as available. The difference in available disk space is probably because the folder Y:\BusReports\Archive is in which of the following states?

Answer 1

Answer:

a mount point

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that this difference is probably because this Archive is in a mount point state. This term refers to additional information (Archive) being logically connected from a storage address outside the OS's main root drive or partition thus allowing the files to be accessible to the user.
