that's misleading, i think, you should use the -t flag to specify the filesystem type, and also you should specify the mount point. The example given there relies on a corresponding entry in the /etc/fstab file, does it not?

as far as i know, for GNU/Linux, you would make sure the mount point exists, eg /mnt/cdrom and if not, create it "mkdir /mnt/cdrom" then you would:
"mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc1 /mnt/cdrom"

hdc1 is the name of your device, so that can change, but that's how it is on my system, /mnt/cdrom can be any directory that exists, and the type (denoted by -t) is something you may wish to check by doing "man mount" or "man fstab" since i am saying this off the top of my head and i'm not 100% sure it's correct.

NAME
copyfs-mount - mounts a versioned file system SYNOPSIS
copyfs-mount version-directory mount-point DESCRIPTION
This script lets you mount a CopyFS file system. version-directory is the directory where the files and version information will be stored by CopyFS. When using CopyFS for the first time, copyfs-mount will create the required files in the version-directory before running copyfs-daemon. mount-point is the directory where the copyfs file system will be mounted. This is where the users will have access to the files. If you want to mount a CopyFS at '/mnt/fs', whose version directory is at /var/versions, you would use: root@host# copyfs-mount /var/versions /mnt/fs To unmount it, simply do: root@host# umount /mnt/fs As you would do for any other filesystem. You can also allow an ordinary non-root users to mount and unmount CopyFS filesystems provided that the user is added to the 'fuse' group. Ordinary users will be able unmount the filesystem, using the fusermount command: $ fusermount -u mount-point AUTHORS
