Nope. He wants to mount it on /usr2, not /mntpoint/usr2.
/usr2 is the mount point.
Try doing a "df ." while in /usr2, after the disk is mounted.
That should tell you what drive you are on , by lookin at
the value for "kbytes" you can see the physical size of the partition.
Of course, this will only help if the partitions are different
sizes.
