# Mounting Overview
UPFS currently only supports two mounting methods: Linux local mounting and K8s container mounting. Mounting on Windows systems is not supported for the time being. For restrictions on mountable operating systems, please refer to the [Product Restrictions](/docs/upfs/upfs_manual_instruction/limit) section.

#### Points to Note
* You need to create the UPFS file system required by the corresponding business on the console in advance before performing the mounting operation.
* The administrative service address and file system resource ID in the file system URL (for the detailed URL rules, please see the file system URL section in [Main Concepts](/docs/upfs/upfs_manual_instruction/concept)) required for mounting are taken from the "Mount Address" and "Resource ID" columns in the console display information list, respectively.
* Before mounting, ensure that the cloud host you are mounting has a minimum CPU configuration of 2 cores and 8g of memory.
* Regardless of whether it is mounted in the Linux way or the K8s way, you need to install a separate client in advance. For the client installation steps, please see [UPFS Client Installation](/docs/upfs/client_install).
* It should be noted that the Ubuntu system must use the sudo command to mount, and before remounting, you need to delete the <resource_id>.sock and <resource_id>.sock.lock files in the /var/tmp directory.
