If you specify an absolute path that begins with the drive letter as a mount point directory name
in the

-mount_pt

option, the mount point should be absolute-path-specified-as-a-mount-point-

directory-name

\

mount-point-in-the-copy-group-mount-definition-file

For example, when

W:\

is specified in the

-mount_pt

option and

FS=D:\

is specified in the

copy group mount definition file, the system mounts the unoccupied drives from the

W

drive. When

W:\mnt

is specified in the

-mount_pt

option and

FS=D:\mnt

is specified in the copy group

mount definition file, the mount point will be

W:\mnt\D\mnt

.
