Like that command mountpoint. I was wondering how one can check if
something is mounted or not. No idea that existed. o_O
Get into the habit of perusing `apropos` when you're bored or
investigating:
~ % apropos -s 1 mount
free (1) - Display amount of free and used memory in the
system
fusermount (1) - mount and unmount FUSE filesystems
mountpoint (1) - see if a directory or file is a mountpoint
restic-mount (1) - Mount the repository
sleep (1) - delay for a specified amount of time
Unix systems do not only feed you fish, they also teach you how to fish.
You just need to ask.
TIL: I can mount my restic backups for quick "whoops" restorations :-)
