The filesystem is stored in a regular file, which can be hidden or named non-conspicuously such that it would most likely be overlooked. This allows for a high level of secure storage of data.</EM> <HR> <P><B>Archived Document Notice:</B> This document has been archived by the LDP because it does not apply to modern Linux systems.
