mount a file system
All files accessible in a Unix system are arranged in one big tree, the file hierarchy, rooted at /. These files can be spread out over several devices. The mount command serves to attach the file system found on some device to the big file tree.
The system maintains a list of currently mounted file systems. If no arguments are given to mount, this list is printed.
The mount command calls the mount(2) system call to prepare and graft a special device or the remote node (rhost:path) on to the file system tree at the point node. If either special or node are not provided, the appropriate information is taken from the fstab(5) file.

Copy directory hierarchies, create and extract archives. Ditto can preserve ownership / permissions, resource forks and file / folder metadata. Ditto will automatically create the destination folder if it doesn’t yet exist, if the destination does exist and contains files, then ditto will merge them.
Unlike cp -R, if the destination folder already exists, the existing contents will be merged with the contents of the folder being copied.
Examples
Copy a folder quotes are needed because of the space in the folder name. Note that this will merge the files into the destination:
ditto '~/Desktop/work files' '/Volumes/work backup'
To also preserve the Mac resource forks, type and creator codes use (only required prior to 10.4):
ditto -rsrc '~/Desktop/work files' '/Volumes/work backup'
Don’t copy metadata and resource forks:
ditto -V --norsrc '~/Desktop/work files' '/Volumes/work backup'
