29 must also be a directory.
31 must be a block special file, except for loopback mounts. For loopback
32 mounts a normal file or directory is used for
34 which must be seen as the root of a virtual device.
36 is 0 for a read-write mount, 1 for read-only.
39 removes the connection between a device and a mount point,
41 may refer to either of them. If more than one device is mounted on the
42 same mount point then unmounting at the mount point removes the last mounted
43 device, unmounting a device removes precisely that device. The unmount will
44 only succeed if none of the files on the device are in use.
