Mounting, in computer science, is the process of making a file system ready for use by the operating system, typically by reading certain index data structures from storage into memory ahead of time. The term recalls a period in the history of computing when an operator had to physically place (mount) a magnetic tape or hard disk on a spindle before using it.
Okay, I've been using linux for a long time but only just now found out the historical reasons why it is called mount - or 'mapping a drive' for the windows crowd. I almost fear to go look up grep.

global regular expression print?

That's disappointing. Anyway, to get back on track, I don't think you mount the prs-500 as the prs-505 is the one that you mount like a regular filesystem.
