Yes, but /mnt/hdb7 is a *directory*, while /dev/hdb7 is a (special)
*file*. Brian wouldn't have been able to move multiple files *under*
/dev/hdb7, as he described (he would have been able to overwrite it with
one file); attempting to move multiple files onto it gives an error like:

mv: target `/dev/hdb7' is not a directory

mc would undoubtedly give some error too.  That was a tip-off that he
was misspeaking, which I think we all missed.
