  The 'mount' command has two forms of usage, short hand and long hand.

  The long hand form (from `mount --help`) is:
	mount [-t fstype] DEVICENAME DIRECTORY

  The short hand forms are:
	mount DEVICENAME
	mount DIRECTORY

  The caveats with using these being:
	- the long hand form may require you to be root (unless the
request matches a line already in /etc/fstab with appropriate
permissions for regular users)
	- the short hand form ALWAYS requires a line in /etc/fstab from
which the appropriate long hand form can be derived.

HTH,
  Wills.
