To access a file to the filesystem hierarchy, you have to mount it with the<strong> mount <\/strong>command. The command is capable of detecting a filesystem. Remember you need <strong>root <\/strong>permissions to mount a filesystem. Also, the <strong>mount<\/strong> command looks for a mount point or a device to attach the file. And after the filesystem has been mounted the previous contents of that file and owner and mode become invisible as long as it stays mounted. The <strong>pathname <\/strong>of the mounted file now refers to the<strong> root <\/strong>of the filesystem.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"B_Syntax\"><\/span><span id=\"B_Syntax\">B.
