Mounts

Mounting in Linux attaches filesystems to specific directories (mount points) in the directory tree, allowing the OS to access data on storage devices. The mount command performs this operation. Example: mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt mounts second partition to /mnt directory. The /mnt directory is conventionally used for temporary mounting operations. Essential for Linux disk and filesystem management.
