LabVIEW mounts USB devices to the directory and creates symbolic links /u, /v, /w, or /x to the media mount point, starting with /u if it is available. To prevent any file corruption to external storage devices, verify that any file I/O operations with the specific drive finish before removing the device. Refer to the LabVIEW Help for more information.

The file system of the sbRIO-9607 follows conventions established for UNIX-style operating systems. Other LabVIEW Real-Time targets follow Microsoft Windows-style conventions. In order to facilitate the porting of applications from those targets, this target supports the Windows-style /C home directory. This path is bound to the UNIX-style directory /home/lvuser.

Various LabVIEW Real-Time system files which would be accessible from C: (or /C) on other LabVIEW Real-Time targets are found in different locations on this target.

UNIX-style file systems support the concept of a symbolic link, which allows access to a file using an alternative file path. For example, it is possible to link /C/ni-rt/system, where dynamic libraries are deployed on other LabVIEW Real-Time targets, to /usr/local/lib, where they are stored on the sbRIO-9607, if the application requires this.
