Unix is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are. It likes friends that actually try to read the docs. Like this one:
The standard form of the mount command is:
mount -t type device dir
This tells the kernel to attach the filesystem found on device (which is of type
type) at the directory dir. The previous contents (if any) and owner and mode
of dir become invisible, and as long as this filesystem remains mounted, the
pathname dir refers to the root of the filesystem on device.
If only the directory or the device is given, for example:
mount /dir
then mount looks for a mountpoint (and if not found then for a device) in the
/etc/fstab file. It's possible to use the --target or --source options to avoid
ambivalent interpretation of the given argument. For example:
mount --target /mountpoint
