## DRIVES

In /media are all available 'drives' listed. This directory is loosely comparable to the My Computer folder on Windows.

Entries in /media appear only if the 'drive' is actually present. So, for example, if no memory card is plugged in, the entry /media/mmc0a does not exist.

/media/df0b | The on board (NOR) dataflash chip
/media/nv0 | The on board battery backed static RAM
/media/mmc0a | The memory card, if present
/media/sdUSB1aa | Example of an USB stick in USB slot 1
/media/root | This is just a link to /
/media/tmp | This is just a link to /tmp
/media/dev | This is just a link to /dev
/media/storage | A link to the first removable media inserted. Gets created when a memory card or USB memory stick is inserted and always points to that media. Gets removed when the media is unplugged again. If multiple removable media are inserted, the first one wins.

If a removable media has a Volume Name, then this name is also placed in /media, linking to the actual drive.
