You don't have to have a mount point at the root level. Very common (and used to be the standard) to create mount points under the /mnt directory, /mnt/cdrom, /mnt/floppy etc. I believe the new standard is to use /media for this kind of stuff. It does not have to go any particular location though. But you do have to be careful not to mount a drive over a directory that is being used like /etc or /usr or /var (assuming the last two are not separate file systems to begin with) This is also a common way to lose may gigabytes of disk space. Have seen entire directory trees appear empty because a file system was mounted over a full directory. And you can't figure out why that drive is so full. :) -- Scot L.
