Abstract:
A system and method for mounting multiple devices on an SLR enable information handling system is disclosed herein. A drive-letter may be assigned to a first user session in a first user session namespace only. A second user may have access to the same drive-letter as the mounting of drive-letters is specific to each specific user session and not the global namespace. A symbolic link is created for each assigned drive-letter and the corresponding drive-letter in the global namespace is deleted allowing for more than the standard mounting of only twenty-six different devices.
