Run the command:

The "general" part of this advice is that: you're using the
"mount"
command, so read the "mount" manual entry!
("mount" is an administrative command, so it is in section 8, not
section 1.)
I've never come to grips with multiple docs for man, depending on such
things as section numbers. And I see no difference in output between
"man 8 mount" or "man mount" Granted I haven't gone the whole
way
through, but I've already gone deep into them, and not seen anything.

to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
