    First one's right, second one should be
    Code:
    sudo mount /furniture/desk /plumbing/toilet
    But wouldn't the toilet be under /dev?

    But if I used that second command like you put it, it would be mounting a device onto another device, not onto a directory.

    Maybe it should be under /dev/plumbing...

    no, no, no, that's
    Code:
    sudo mv /furniture/desk /plumbing/toilet
    you need to move the desk, not mount it.

    Oh I see. In that case:
    Code:
    sudo mount /furniture/desk /mnt/bathroom/in-front-of-toilet
    I read your version as "mount desk in computer room" rather than "mount desk in front of toilet".

    Indeed:
    Code:
    sudo mv /furniture/desk /dev/comp-desk
    sudo mv /plumbing/toilet /dev/toilet
    I don't think you can just move devices around like that though, can you?

    You can't move devices(like the toilet), but you can move other things(like the desk)

    Are we really having this conversation? We really are helpless geeks.

    Like someone pointed out a few dozen pages back, "You know you're a geek when it's too late."

    I thought the desk was a device as well. That's how I was treating it, "mount the desk in front of the toilet."
