bind(1) describes how bind and mount work. could you explain why you find /mnt confusing? it's just a directory that is the conventional mount point for several fileservers. the main difference with unix mount would be that plan 9 mounts file servers, not devices. so instead of a device argument, plan 9 takes a (posted) file descriptor. >2.
