Mount Points and /etc/fstab

/etc/fstab is referenced each time the system boots.  It consists fields like device name, mount point, file system type, fsck order like 0 = ignore, 1=fist, 2-9 = second, and third, etc.  After the filesystem is created in /etc/fstab, it's important to use the mount-a to mount the filesystem just created to check for errors.  
umount /apps:  To unmount the file system
fuser -v /apps:  For some reasons you cannot mount a filesystem that has open files, you can display
                       information  about the processes using a filesystem.
fuser -km /apps:  To kill all actions on a filesystem
mount -o remount,rw / :  To mount in a single operation.  This is common during recovery operation.
