I have the book, "Complete guide to network Servers and Server+" In this book the guy who wrote it says that a node is an addressable space on the hard drive. Does anyone know where this idea comes from? I have looked everywhere to prove him right, but no luck. I do not agree with him. Is there anyone out there that does, and that can prove it? it would be great if someone did!!

in what context is he talking about these "nodes"?

[Sprattney]

He is supposed to be talking about Windows in general, but I think he is talking about Linux/Unix. The exact statement is: "In order to efficiently sort this data, the file system consists of several nodes. A node is an addressable space on the hard drive. The different nodes are files, directories, and subdirectories." Watcha think?

i think your right hes talking about another OS or something, iv never heard any file system referenced in this way, can you find anything on google?

[Sprattney]
