The mount command attaches a file system to a specified point in an existing filesystem hierarchy. The attached filesystem could exist on a local device or be a remote (e.g. NFS) filesystem. After the mount command succeeds, the local or remote filesystem appears as a normal part of the existing filesystem hierarchy.
