My point was entirely about suitability of /mnt/ for fstab entries.
And my point is that for a one time copy, its was handy. I didn't have
to mkdir a mount point for it.
/mnt/ is intended for one-time copies, just the ticket for that particular
exercise.
I don't recall ever mounting something to /mnt, always to a subdir in mount.
How did you mount to a subdir in /mnt without making a mount point?
Your two statements appear contradictory.
On this particular ball of rock and water at least, called a planet in
most circles, you "mkdir /mnt/whatever". You don't have to mount
directly on /mnt and I don't think I ever have. Do it 50 times with your
own version of "whatever", same with any path to anyplace on the system.
Nothing special about it.
