How to mount a hidden partition?

[Carruth, Rusty]

Whoa - I took the old 'top-post' paradigm ONE step TOO far - I wrote the lines in reverse order also!

Shoulda said:

It is complaining that the directory '/mnt/sda10' does not exist, and 'mount' does not create it for you.

Fix this by 'mkdir /mnt/sda10', then do the mount again.
