* The filesystem type (optional)
* The **mount point**
* This is the place within the existing filesystem where you want to mount the partition.
* This can be anywhere, but in the example we will use the `/mnt' directory
* When you mount to a directory, this directory _becomes_ the disk you have mounted, you will not see it as a subdirectory within the the mount point, you will just see the contents of the disk itself
```bash
umount -t /dev/sda1 /mnt
mkdir mountpoint
mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 /mnt
touch test.txt
```
Our `sda1` partition is now mounted at `mountpoint`. We can go ahead and create files. If we now look within the graphical file manager when we click on the `sda1` volume, we will see the new file we have created in `mountpoint`.
