6 With nothing mounted on it, the mount point's permission are those of the
7 directory. As soon as you mount something on it, the mount point has the
8 ownership and permissions of the root of the filesystem that you just
9 mounted there. In the same way that the contents of the filesystem appear
10 at the mount point, so does the metadata, so change the permissions
11 after mounting.
