Alleged. Thats just it. I haven't ran across anybody who uses Linux that uses /mnt as a mountpoint. Everybody I've talked to and worked with will create their own temp dir under /mnt and mount things there.
Fearing to warm up the old discussion, A quick look at some of the Linux kernel Documentation/ directory reveals that most examples assume you're using /mnt as a single mountpoint. Not that I think you should do it that way, but I think that shows it's not too unusual. Agreed, RedHat didn't, but a lot of other distros seem to do it that way.
Cheers, Kai
