mount:tldr:fb293

This command is used to mount a filesystem on a device file to a specified directory in the file system. Here's the breakdown of the command:

• mount: This is the main command used to mount a filesystem in Linux.

• -t ${filesystem_type}: The -t flag specifies the filesystem type (e.g., ext4, ntfs, vfat) that you want to mount. ${filesystem_type} should be replaced with the actual type (e.g., ext4). This flag is necessary because the system needs to know how to read and write data on the specific filesystem.

• ${path-to-device_file}: This specifies the path to the device file representing the partition or device where the filesystem resides. It is usually something like /dev/sdb1 or /dev/nvme0n1p1. ${path-to-device_file} should be replaced with the actual path to the device file.

• ${path-to-target_directory}: This is the path to the directory in the file system where you want to mount the partition or device. For example, you might specify /mnt or /media/mydrive. ${path-to-target_directory} should be replaced with the desired target directory.

When you execute the command with the appropriate values, the specified device file will be mounted to the given target directory, allowing you to access and modify the files and directories stored on that device.
