70. NTFS Volume Reparse (Mount) Points

• Reparse points are similar to Unix Mount Points     

• Directory on NTFS is actually a root of another volume

• Allows a directory tree to replace multiple drive letters

• Similar to multiple hard drives, CD/DVD ROM, and floppy drives as they appear as subdirectories on Unix as a single tree:

      /dev/hda
      /dev/hdb
      /dev/cdrom
      /dev/floppy
  
  

  Those same four devices would be appearing as C:, D:, E:, A:, respectively, on Windows.
