How to mount devices in Linux

In unix systems, mounting is a way to attach a directory to a device.

Here are some example of mount command:

1. mount floppy - mount /dev/fd0
2. mount floppy in a desired folder - mount /dev/fd0 /home/user/floppy
3. mount cdrom - mount /dev/cdrom
4. mount cdrom in a desired folder - mount /dev/cdrom /home/user/cdrom

If you have an iso file and you want to mount it, you will have to add "-o loop" after the mount command:

- mount -o loop /home/user/image.iso /home/user/cdrom

For unmounting the device you will have to write the command umount and the location of the devices:

1. umount /dev/fd0
2. umount /dev/cdrom
3. umount /home/user/image.iso
