No, not at all. Actually, I hate the way Linux handles filesystems.
Files on a disk simply have nothing to do with devices. I can only think
of the filesystem as an extension to the device called "hard disk." I
cannot understand why /dev is a subdirectory! It is only a subdirectory
in a tree describing the computer hardware, *NOT* the filesystem!
