    A partition maps to a top level folder. The Common partition maps to /Common. You can have child folders, it's like a file system. However there are no child partions, so if you are in folder /MyFolder/MySubFolder you are in partition /MyFolder.

      Thank you for your reply. I think you are right. The folder is located at one F5, but the same partition can be located at several F5, am I right?
