Well, I think the context here is more attach-a-disk. I really like
Roger's suggestion of 'mount', it immediately brings all the right
elements into focus, and it's only one syllable.

We can change a CLI until RC, and its good for us to debate them.

Here are the guiding principles.

 * shorter is better, much much better
 * we strongly prefer one word to always mean the same thing
 * we strongly prefer a unique verb to a common-verb-plus-noun

For the latter reason I prefer not to go to attach-storage, attach-nic
and attach-cpu...  What you're looking for is a 1-3 syllable single verb
which is distinct, nice to say, quick to tab-complete, and preferably
implies storage.

The one exception I can think  of is list-* where we like the
tab-complete "tell me about all the things" experience.

Suggestions welcome for the word, but these are the principles we'll
decide by. I may add more principles later :)
