mount

Provides access to an entire filesystem in one directory.

• Show all mounted filesystems:

mount

• Mount a device to a directory:

mount -t {filesystem_type} {path/to/device_file} {path/to/target_directory}

• Mount a CD-ROM device (with the filetype ISO9660) to `/cdrom` (readonly):

mount -t {iso9660} -o ro {/dev/cdrom} {/cdrom}

• Mount all the filesystem defined in `/etc/fstab`:

mount -a

• Mount a specific filesystem described in `/etc/fstab` (e.g. `/dev/sda1 /my_drive ext2 defaults 0 2`):

mount {/my_drive}

• Mount a directory to another directory:

mount --bind {path/to/old_dir} {path/to/new_dir}
