How to mount to a specific directory with mount?

To mount a device or file system to a specified directory, you can use the mount command.

The grammar is as follows:

mount [option] source destination

source refers to the device or file system to be mounted, while destination refers to the directory to be mounted to.

Here are some common options:

1. -t: specifies the type of file system, for example -t ext4 indicates mounting an ext4 file system.
2. -o: specifies mount options, for example -o rw mounts in read-write mode.

For instance, if you want to mount the /dev/sdb1 device to the /mnt directory, you can use the following command:

mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt

To mount in read-only mode, you can use the following command:

mount -o ro /dev/sdb1 /mnt

You can mount an ISO file by using the following command:

mount -t iso9660 -o loop path/to/file.iso /mnt

Please note that mounting devices or file systems requires root permission, so typically the mount command needs to be run as root.
