* '''Mounting''' is the process of mapping the volume's directory and file structure logically within the VM's directory and file structure. | |||
* To mount the volume, use a command similar to <code>[name@server ~]$ sudo mount /dev/vdb1 /mnt</code> depending on the device name, disk layout, and the desired mount point in your filesystem. | |||
This command makes the volume's directory and file structure available under the VM's /mnt directory. | |||
