In Figure 9–4, the small boxes represent what the clients think they see;
the arrows show how the real disk areas on the server are mounted by the
client to produce this view.
Clients can be timesharing systems or workstations. Because each client’s
root area is tailored specifically to the client’s needs and would contain
the software the client can run, there is no interference between clients
attempting to use identical resources that could, for example, have licensing
restrictions based on the number of concurrent users.
