The method for creating a new mount point on CentOS 7 is as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create a directory for mounting point:<\/li>\n
  2. Create a new directory at the specified mount point using superuser privileges.<\/li>\n
  3. Among them, is the name of the mount point you want.<\/li>\n
  4. Find the identifier of the device or file system to be mounted by using one of the following commands:<\/li>\n
  5. lsblk: displays disk and partition layout.<\/li>\n
  6. fdisk -l: displays disk and partition information.<\/li>\n
  7. blkid: displays the UUID and label of devices or file systems.<\/li>\n
  8. Mount a device or file system to a mount point.<\/li>\n
  9. Elevate the mount command to connect the specified device to the designated mount point.<\/li>\n
  10. “Or”<\/li>\n
  11. Mount the specified UUID to the designated mount point.<\/li>\n
  12. Among them, is the identifier of a device or file system, and is the UUID of a device or file system.<\/li>\n
  13. To verify if the mounting was successful, use one of the following commands to check if the device or filesystem has been successfully mounted to the mount point:<\/li>\n
  14. df -h: Displays the mounted file systems.<\/li>\n
  15. Mount: displays devices or filesystems that are already mounted.<\/li>\n
  16. (Optional) Configure automatic mounting:
    \nTo automatically mount devices or file systems during system startup, please edit the \/etc\/fstab file and add the following line:<\/li>\n
  17. \/dev\/ is mounted at \/mnt\/ with the specified and default settings, both set to 0.<\/li>\n
  18. Or<\/li>\n
  19. UUID= mounted at \/mnt\/ using with default settings.<\/li>\n
  20. Among them, is the type of file system.<\/li>\n
  21. Save the file and exit the editor.<\/li>\n
  22. Restart the system or manually execute the following command to apply the changes.<\/li>\n
  23. – Run the command “sudo mount -a”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    By doing this, you are creating a new mounting point and attaching a device or file system to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
