I note that one of the parameters in the Superblock of ext2
filesystems is the "Mount point", and was wondering what that was for,
since it clearly isn't actually used to decide where to mount the
disk. If there's going to be problems with SCSI disks about where to
mount them, perhaps this field should be used for the purpose its name
suggests...
This field is supposed to be filled in by the kernel so that programs
that manipulate the filesystem know where it was last mounted. It
shouldn't be confused with "where the filesystem SHOULD be mounted",
however.
