Hi All,

I had a query regarding linux mount partitions, which
I was trying to understand. I understand that Linux
mounts certain partitions by default at certain
locations. You have the kernel image which is located
at /boot (?) and the root partition /root mounted at /
But why is it that /dev/cdrom is mounted by default on
/mnt/cdrom? Why not reduce confusion and mount it on
/dev/cdrom itself? Also, what are the other partitions
that are mounted by default and their default
locations?

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Abhijit.
