How to Mount
1. Create a mount-point. Often this is a subdirectory of "/mnt".
For example, "mkdir /mnt/foo".
2. Mount the device on the mount-point. For example,
"mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/foo".
3. Enjoy!
If you want the device to be permanently mounted open the file
"/etc/fstab" in your favourite text-editor [1]. Copy the line for your
current Linux file system and modify it so it uses the new mount-point
and device. For example, my "/etc/fstab" file contains the line
/dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
The modified copy would read as follows.
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/foo auto defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
[1] If Emacs is not your favourite text-editor it should be :)
