Larsen, AKA K5DI If I understand correctly what you are asking, I am inclined to refer to to it as the root of that file system (when refering to the top level directory in the hiarchial tree structure on the file system on that partition) but stand to be corrected. However it is not THE root because as we've already discussed that is /, and everything else mounts off of that including that partition. So the root of your home mounted partition could be at /home for example. However most will avoid refering to it in that manner because of the confusion it would cause. Jacques B.
