Storage devices include disk drives, tape drives, RAID arrays, and Storage Area Network (SAN) file systems. Mac OS X handles storage devices using a stack of drivers, each of which supports some aspect of communication. Developers can use the BSD interface and the I/O Kit to access storage devices. Administrators can use Xsan to aggregate networks of storage devices and to configure 64-bit cluster file systems.
Essential information for developers manipulating file systems in Mac OS X.
