Syntax:  mount -t [type] [partition] [mount-point]

The device is usually  one  of the following: /dev/hda, /dev/hdb, /dev/fd0, ...

The  [partition]  is  a  device name followed by a partition
number.  For example, /dev/hda1 is the first partition  on
the first hard disk in the system. [mount-point] is a directory
in your file-system.

Ex:

o Mount a MSDOS hard-disk partition:
	
	mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /c 

o Mount a Linux hard-disk partition:

	mount -t ext2 /dev/hdc2 /mnt 


o Mount a MSDOS floppy
	
	mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /a
	or
	mount /a

o Mount a configured CDROM

	mount /cdrom 
	umount /cdrom

o Mount a NFS partition

	mount -a -t nfs
	or
	mount -t nfs host:/some/dir /local


Creation
-----------------

o Linux 

mkfs.ext2 is used to create a Linux second extended file sys-
       tem on a device (usually a disk partition).
       device  is  the  special  file corresponding to the device
       (e.g /dev/hdXX).
       blocks-count is the number of blocks on  the  device.   If
       omitted,  mke2fs  automagically  figures  the  file system
       size.

	Example:

		# mkfs.ext2 /dev/fd0

o Dos

mkdosfs is used to create  an  MS-DOS  file  system  under
       Linux  on  a device (usually a disk partition).  device is
       the  special  file  corresponding  to  the   device   (e.g
       /dev/hdXX).   block-count  is  the number of blocks on the
       device.  If omitted, mkdosfs automatically determiness the
       file system size.

	Example:

		# mkdosfs /dev/fd0
