execute the mount command without any arguments to view all the mounts:
#mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,relatime)
/dev/disk/by-uuid/c4f411af-56b1-4ecc-b85e-a0173aa9dc30 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,data=ordered)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)
devtmpfs on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,relatime,size=490760k,nr_inodes=122690,mode=755)
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,relatime)
tmpfs on /run/shm type tmpfs (rw,relatime)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600,ptmxmode=000)
tmpfs on /var/state/login type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,mode=700,uid=99,gid=99)
tmpfs on /var/tmp type tmpfs (rw,relatime)
/dev/sda4 on /var/log type ext4 (rw,noatime,data=ordered)
/dev/sdc1 on /media type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
You can also use df command to view all the mount points:
#df -h

Let’s format the partition as traditional EXT4 Linux file system :
#mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1
Mount the drive :
#mount -t ext4 /dev/sdc1 /media
Unmount the drive :
#umount -t ext4 /dev/sdc1 /media
You’re now ready to use it! However, this mount will not survive to a reboot. To make it permanent, you need to edit fstab :
#vi /etc/fstab
tmpfs /run tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /run/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
devtmpfs /dev devtmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
