Mount is used in Linux/Unix world for specifying file and folder location along with users and their related permissions to access that. Even if you have to use a tape drive, a USB or related media share etc, you have to mount it first before you can access it. Unlike Windows where such media shows up automatically, Linux/Unix require you to specify mount point for that. After the version 4, Mount is no more used rather has been merged in to NFS protocol.

The Mount protocol returns a file handle and the name of the file system in which a requested file resides. The message is sent to the client from the server after reception of a client's request.
