Volume Mount Point

Volume Mount Point

Volume Mount Points are specialized NTFS filesystem objects which are used to mount and provide an entry point to other partitions. Mount points can be created in a directory on an NTFS file system, which gives a reference to the root directory of the mounted partition. In fact, any empty directory can be converted to a mount point. The mounted partition is not limited to the NTFS filesystem but can be formatted with any file system supported by Microsoft Windows. Volume Mount Points are supported from NTFS 5.0, which was introduced with Windows 2000.
