Ah, so it's no help to inform the OP *where* to look for help and *what*
to look for?

Pardon me, but that's absolutely wrong.

You might have had a point, if all I posted were a "RTFM". But I 
did substantially more.

This doesn't fit me. I don't make fun of newbies.

Why do you put help in quotation marks? Was it not right to the
spot to point to the man page of mount and there to secrion deeling
with "loop"? No?

I discard it, as it doesn't fit. Especially not in this thread. I
wasn't offended or anything. I gave help. Now, what did you do? You
started yet another OT thread. You probably think, that this is
the right way to go, don't you? Well - you're wrong.
