-<p>A file server extension is a library that allows the functionality of a
-file server logical drive and its corresponding file system to be extended
-or modified. </p>
-<p>The Symbian platform uses a file server extension to implement its Flash
-Transition Layer (FTL) that allows a FAT file system to run on a NAND flash
-device. Because this layer is not needed when using FAT on a RAM disk or a
-MultiMediaCard, it is not necessary to add this functionality to the FAT file
-system itself. So the FTL is implemented as a file server extension and is
-only used on NAND local drives. </p>
-<p>The file server uses libraries called file systems, which implement support
-for particular file system formats, such as FAT and LFFS. These file system
-libraries in turn make calls to the media sub-system, which provides device
-drivers that handles interaction with the actual storage hardware. </p>
-<p>A file server extension is an additional layer that intercepts all calls
-from a file system to the media sub-system, as shown below: </p>

-</fig>
-<p>All calls to the media sub-system from a mounted file system go through
-a "proxy" drive interface provided by the loaded extension (or extensions),
-before the call is passed on to the media sub-system interface. </p>
-<p>An extension has the same lifetime as its corresponding file system object.
-This is usually a <xref href="GUID-FADDE053-CC1C-39BC-A52D-27093041BE20.dita"><apiname>CMountCB</apiname></xref> object but can also be a subsession
-object (for example <xref href="GUID-63DF657C-434D-353D-A536-8AF9D97C8260.dita"><apiname>CFileCB</apiname></xref>). On removable drives, if a
-mount with an extension is destroyed when the media is removed, then when
-the same media is reinserted, the mount object and extension should be created
-at the same time. </p>
-<p>Extensions can be referred to as being <i>primary</i> or <i>secondary</i>: </p>
-<ul>
-<li id="GUID-58C4DAEE-22E3-506E-81C2-4D5C9B69C7F8"><p>An extension is called
-primary if it is required for the file system to be used. Such extensions
-must be mounted before or at the same time as a file system is mounted on
-a drive. This can be done by modifying the initial mounting of the local file
-system in the <xref href="GUID-80698E62-E310-59CA-A524-5CF44C437BE4.dita">Base
-Starter</xref> component. The file system mounted on the drive must be dismounted
-before a primary extension can be dismounted. </p> <p>Only one primary extension
-is permitted to be mounted on a drive at a time. </p> </li>
-<li id="GUID-DB65DE20-5F80-5FC6-A847-EAE74F544A8C"><p>Secondary extensions
-can be added after a file system is mounted. The maximum number of extensions
-allowed is two. </p> <p>When two extensions are loaded, calls are passed through
-both extensions in turn. This is referred to as <i>chaining</i>. The order
-of chaining is determined by the order that extensions are mounted on the
-drive. The extension mounted first is closest to the media sub-system interface.
-Therefore the primary extension is always closest to the media sub-system
-interface. </p> </li>
