+We can now mount our filesystems. When we mount, we must specify the following criteria with the request:
 
 - The name of the device we want to mount.
   - This will be the name or the partition. However the names (`sda` etc) assigned by the OS can change. In these cases and with GPT-based partitions you can use the UUID.

 > Whilst we have created our partitions we cannot yet mount them. This is because we have not yet set up a filesystem on the partitions. This is the next step.
