Hi,

could you please add some examples of how to manually do mounting and unmounting USB disks on my Ubuntu PC from inside bash? also could you teach how to loop-mount an ISO file? Thanks, --unforgettableid | talk 23:57, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

umount
The counterpart of  really is spelled   and not , as anyone who has any experience with Unix knows. But why? J I P | Talk 17:58, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Fine-grained privilege
Hello,

Is it possible to explain a litter futher what the sentence, and quoting "The mount and umount commands require root user privilege or the corresponding fine-grained privilege", means ? Specifically, what does the author mean by, and quoting, "or the corresponding fine-grained privilege"?

Thank you very much,

addressing the how-to complaint

removing templates
I have worked on the article and may have fixed the issues. Let's see if it gets reflagged. Meanwhile, some comments:


 * refimprove = March 2011
 * it really does not need additional references. Those provided are very authoritative.


 * howto = March 2011
 * see above


 * notability = March 2011
 * it's a fairly important command and one that new users frequently get stuck on. If we do pages for Unix commands this should be one of the commands. If we don't, that's a position that I can respect, as there is always man but I am betting that we do.
