4-about mounting (from Baidu)
This is determined by the Linux File System Management.
First, Linux treats all hardware devices as files. Therefore, when using optical drives and other hardware devices, it must be mounted to the system. Only in this way can Linux be identified.
Secondly, the linux system is organized in a way that the entire system gradually expands from the root to the tree directory, storing files of different purposes in different categories,/reading as "diagonal lines" and English Slash; when a path is written, the first Slash (/) indicates the root, that is, the root, and the other Slash (/) indicates the path delimiter, but all are read as "diagonal lines" or "Slash ". It is precisely because of this Organization that mounting must be mounted to a specific directory, usually in the/mnt directory.
