6. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018) |
mount
To make a file system available for access.
Unix does this by associating the file system with a
directory (the "mount point") within a currently mounted
file system. The "root" file system is mounted on the root
directory, "/" early in the boot sequence. "mount" is also
the Unix command to do this, "unmount" breaks the
association.
E.g., "mount attaches a named file system to the file system
hierarchy at the pathname location directory [...]" -- Unix
manual page mount(8).
File systems are usually mounted either at boot time under
control of /etc/rc (or one of its subfiles) or on demand by
an automounter daemon.
Other operating systems such as VMS and DOS mount file
systems as separate directory hierarchies without any common
ancestor or root directory.
Apparently derived from the physical sense of "mount" meaning
"attach", as in "head-mounted display", or "set up", as in
"always mount a scratch monkey, etc."
Unix manual page: mount(8).

7. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary |
Mount
Palestine is a hilly country (Deut. 3:25; 11:11; Ezek. 34:13).
West of Jordan the mountains stretch from Lebanon far down into
Galilee, terminating in Carmel. The isolated peak of Tabor rises
from the elevated plain of Esdraelon, which, in the south, is
shut in by hills spreading over the greater part of Samaria. The
mountains of Western and Middle Palestine do not extend to the
sea, but gently slope into plains, and toward the Jordan fall
down into the Ghor.
East of the Jordan the Anti-Lebanon, stretching south,
terminates in the hilly district called Jebel Heish, which
reaches down to the Sea of Gennesareth. South of the river
Hieromax there is again a succession of hills, which are
traversed by wadies running toward the Jordan. These gradually
descend to a level at the river Arnon, which was the boundary of
the ancient trans-Jordanic territory toward the south.
The composition of the Palestinian hills is limestone, with
occasional strata of chalk, and hence the numerous caves, some
of large extent, found there.
