mount
mount is a Linux command in the Disk & Storage category, rated intermediate difficulty. Mounts a filesystem to make it accessible at a directory. The syntax is mount [options] device mountpoint. Key options and parameters: device, mountpoint — block device, directory. It returns none (filesystem mounted). A practical example: mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 /media/windows mount -a # Mount all fstab entries mount # List mounted filesystems A close relative is umount, which unmounts a mounted filesystem. A close relative is fdisk, which manages disk partition tables (create, delete, resize partitions). A close relative is blkid, which displays block device attributes (UUID, filesystem type, label). More about this category: Linux disk and storage commands — mount, umount, fdisk, lsblk, and more. Manage disks, partitions, and filesystems. Related Disk & Storage commands: umount, fdisk, blkid, dd, lsblk, parted, mkfs, fsck.
