Well put Rohan, “Now you know how the mount command works. To mount a foreign filesystem i.e. the filesystem which is not known to Linux like fat16, fat32 or NTFS of Windows you have to specify the options in the mount command”. I would still be considered a newbie in most Linux circles, but one look in /etc/fstab, no, wait, scratch that, better yet. One experience installing an average distro (Mepis for instance), using the partition utility, NEW, FILE TYPE, ext2, ext3 ext4, resierfs, fat32, ntfs,,, Linux will format these so called “foreign” file systems (Windows labels them unknown). No mention of symbolic links, etc. yet titling this article, “Everything about Mounting a Foreign File System in Linux” Please stop confusing new users, or if you’re still determined to write about similar subjects, maybe label the article as your theory or opinion.
