The following steps use fictional directory and system names to give an example of how to manually mount a remote file system.
1) Log on the system as "root".
2) You will need a directory on which you will mount the remote file
partition. Let's call the directory "mntdir".
3) Enter the line: mkdir /mntdir
This creates the directory mntdir in "/".
4) Next, we need the name of the remote file partition. We'll use the
/usr/catman directory on the remote system "my_system_name" as an
example.
5) Enter the line: mount my_system_name:/usr/catman /mntdir
This command line mounts the /usr/catman from the system
"my_system_name" onto the "/mntdir" on the local system.
6) To check that the partition is actually mounted, type the command
"mount" and press Return. Among the output, you should find one line for
the remote partition just mounted:
my_system_name:/usr/catman on /mntdir
