Several common misunderstandings about Linux

For more information about Linux-general Linux technology and application, see the following. 1. Linux does not always generate fragments. Any file format may generate fragments. In contrast, Linux will almost never generate fragments. For Linux systems, if file fragments have affected system operation, you can back up the system and format the file system Before restoring the backup system. For individual users, there is almost no need to consider file fragmentation, because it will not affect the operation of the system at all;

Ii. Support for ISO files, which has been embedded in Linux, can be directly mounted to a directory for access, almost the same as normal access to the CD, however, some applications do not work. That is to say, not all Linux software can normally access the mounted ISO files. Some software cannot access the ISO files stored in the NTFS format partition;

3. Linux depends on its release version and has different support for NTFS. Most of them support NTFS reading. Of course, you can re-compile the kernel to directly support NTFS writing, however, this is usually not the case, which affects the operation efficiency, and the practice has proved that this is not a safe method. Generally, the ntfs-3g and other drivers to achieve the write permission to the NTFS format, although this method is troublesome (must be root user), but relatively safe;

4. Linux ignores the file extension in most cases. That is to say, regardless of the file name, Linux automatically identifies the program that should open the file. But not all Linux software has this function. For example, a common player, Amarok, cannot open an mp3 file without the "mp3" extension.

Generally, the Linux management method is the easiest way to get dizzy from Windows to Linux. It manages everything as a file, this is flexible and reliable enough, but it also makes people confused, a little unable to find the north.
