  Linux and UNIX mount and unmount information
If a mount is attempted on a pre-existing mount point without setting this flag, the mount will fail, producing the error "device busy".
If mount points are not specified, mount will mount all file systems whose /etc/vfstab "mount at boot" field is "yes".
If mount points are specified, then /etc/vfstab "mount at boot" field will be ignored.

Reparse points can also be used to map a volume to a directory within an existing file structure.
A reparse point that points to a volume is called a volume mount point.
Volume mount points can be used to break Window’s 26 drive letter limit by allowing different partitions, e.g.

File systems that are subsequently mounted onto the original file system, however, are visible to the virtual file system, unless or until the corresponding mount point in the virtual file system is covered by a file system mounted there.
Recursive traversal of loopback mount points is not allowed; after the loopback mount of /tmp/newroot, the file /tmp/newroot/tmp/newroot does not contain yet another file system hierarchy.
Loopback mounts may be dependent on two mounts having been previously performed, while nfs and 4.2 mounts are dependent only on a single pre- vious mount.

 Felgall Operating Systems - Linux Mount Points
In the case of drives used with portable media (such as floppy drives, cd rom drives, and zip drives) it is necessary to unmount the drive before being able to remove the media from the drive (some recent linux versions may handle this for you automatically).
Before we can mount and unmount file systems we need to configure them so that linux knows about them and knows whether or not to mount them when the system first starts up.
To define a mount point type mkdir /floppy (where floppy is whatever you want the mount point to be called).

 FOSSwire » Unix fundamentals - mount points
Mount points are, in essence, folders in which external filesystems are mounted (their contents are dropped into that folder).
A mount point is a term used to describe where the computer puts the files in a file system on Unix-like systems.
The folder (which is the mount point - the point where that device is mounted) can be anywhere, but it’s a convention that you use /media or /mnt.

 Mount point definition by The Linux Information Project   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
A mount point is a directory (typically an empty one) in the currently accessible filesystem on which an additional filesystem is mounted (i.e., logically attached).
The mount points for devices listed in /etc/fstab can easily be changed with a text editor such as gedit or vi.
The concept of mount points can seem confusing to new users because they have not had to be concerned with mounting when using the Microsoft Windows operating systems.

 Mounting Filesystems (Linux)
Any entry may be mounted without having to specify the several arguments for the mount command, since those arguments can be taken directly from the /etc/fstab file.

 Mooney now 23 points away from #1 all-time after 39-point night; Dolphins lose fourth straight game, 100-84 to Valiants
Senior James Mooney scored 39 points and is now only 23 points away from becoming the all-time leading scorer in Mount Saint Vincent history, but the Dolphins lost their fourth straight game, 100-84 to Manhattanville on Tuesday night.
Mooney was simply unbelievable during the first half of play, scoring 25 points on 10 for 13 shooting during that stretch as the Dolphins shot 58% from the floor and trailed 49-46 at halftime after leading by as many as nine points during the first 20 minutes.
While Mooney was slowed during the second half and finished with 39 points, his Mount teammates picked up the slack, and the two teams went into an outright slugfest as the clock wound down, and when Mooney hit a three-pointer with 6:12 remaining in the game, the Dolphins trailed only 82-79.

 Multiple Semantic Mount Points
Just as it is possible to mount more than one file system on a syntactic mount point [rp:93], it is also possible to mount more than one name space on a semantic mount point.
We can add a semantic mount point associated with a query for "fingerprint" (or a more complex query), thus ensuring that our knowledge of the subject is up to date (at least with the library).
We may want to have syntactic mount points to all these sources and search there manually once in a while, but in addition HAC allows a user to build remote semantic directories for each source (or one for all of them), and have a better access to and better integration with this information.

 SDB:Mounting to Static Mount Points - openSUSE
You do not like the automatic mounting of CDs, DVDs, or USB sticks to mount points corresponding to the label of the removable medium, which is performed by default with submount/subfs and HAL since 9.3, or this functionality is undesirable when using software like Wine, CrossOver Office, or Cedega.
Therefore, you prefer to mount to a static directory (under /media) without sacrificing the advantages of automounting.

 PC-AFS User Guide -- More AFS Commands
A mount point is a special type of link between a directory location in the file tree and the volume that houses the elements in that directory.
When you cross a mount point, you move from one volume to another and possibly from one File Server and partition to another.
This transition is transparent to you because AFS interprets the mount points and retrieves the requested files and directories from the appropriate location, making it unnecessary for you to know their volume, partition, and File Server locations.

 The Magic of Mount Points
Simply put, a mount point is a physical location in the directory structure on which you graft—or mount—the root directory of another volume.
Mount points are persistent directories that point to disk volumes; in Windows, they always resolve to the root directory of the desired volume.
Mount points provide a useful storage-management tool that avoids the tedious work of assigning specific volume mappings to every disk resource (whether local or remote).

At present (via winecfg), it certainly can autodetect the relevant mount points and assign them drive letters, but this (rather naturally) requires and entry in /etc/fstab (or possibly /etc/mtab as well), to determine what the mount points currently are, as well as the available devices.

This is a generic mount point under which you mount your filesystems or devices.
Mounting is the process by which you make a filesystem available to the system.
Since all files in UNIX are in a single directory tree, the mount operation will make it look like the contents of the new filesystem are the contents of an existing subdirectory in some already mounted filesystem.
