Mapping files onto secondary storage refers to the process of associating logical data structures, such as files or databases, with physical storage locations on secondary storage devices like hard drives or SSDs. This mapping is typically managed by the operating system's file system, which keeps track of where each file is stored on the storage device. By mapping files onto secondary storage, the operating system can efficiently retrieve and store data, ensuring that files are organized and accessible to users and applications.
