Thanks!
The docs for mount do not show that "mkdir /Jazz" or any mkdir command should be used. Your simple examples should help.
OK, but they say you need to have a mount-point. This is nothing else than a directory. And as you have a additional, kind of special disk, I would say a new dir in / is appropriate...
Sorry, but I would never infer that a directory should be created on one disk in order to mount another. There is nothing intuitive about using mkdir to complete this process. On some other planet maybe, but from where I come from if it isn't in the instructions, why would I expect something else? And the bigger question is WHY would you create a directory on one drive in order to mount a different drive? Sorry to be logical, but in this case nothing else would be right. :-) Documentation should be complete, clear, and practical, with real world examples. I wouldn't expect you to shine your shoes in order to ride a bicycle. What would be the logic in that? Or try a favorite question we use here in America: Did you walk to work or bring your lunch? Illogical, non-related, and utter nonsense. Thanks, Tim
