fspick "copies the existing parameters" would be more accurate. I can
reword this, but it's an example and I don't think it makes sense to add
a large amount of clarifying text for each example.

The comparisons to mount(2) are meant to be indicative, but if you I can
also just remove them (David's versions didn't include them).
