Thanks for the feedback. I’ll edit the post to reflect the changes. But no, I did not mean that one should try mounting their file systems on the Desktop.

If you really are that insane and want to mount a a device in your ~/Desktop/ directory execute the following:

mkdir ~/Desktop/MountedFS
sudo mount /dev/sd** /home//Desktop/MountedFS
where /dev/sd** stands for the (USB or SCSI) Device you want to mount. In case you have a IDE harddrive you want to mount the command would be /dev/hd** .

The FHS(http://proton.pathname.com/fhs/) is very clear and strict about where you actually can/should mount devices!
