3 Managing File System Mounts
WARNING:
This documentation is a draft and is not meant for production use. Branch: OL10-FSADMIN
To access a file system's contents, you need to attach its block device to a mount point in the root file system's directory hierarchy. Any directory can function as a mount point.
Typically, you create a directory for a mount point. If you use an existing directory, the contents of the existing directory remain hidden until you unmount the overlying file system.
