# zestyctl disk mount - Mount a device

This topic describes the `zestyctl disk mount` CLI command.

This command mounts a device path to a mount path (equivalent of the Linux `mount `command).

It includes flags that can be used to:

- Synchronize the Zesty Disk mountpoint list (in **zesty/zesty-disk-mountpoint**) with current configured Zesty Disks. This file is used to automatically mount Zesty Disk during instance boot, similar to the purpose of the Linux operating system file **/etc/fstab**.
- Start a filesystem with multiple devices.

### Syntax

`zestyctl disk mount &lt;device path&gt; &lt;mount path&gt; [options]`

### Parameters

| Parameter | Description | Required |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `zestyctl disk mount` | Run the mount command | Y |
| `&lt;device path&gt;` | The device path to be mounted | Y |
| `&lt;mount path&gt;` | The mount path that should be mounted | Y |
| `--synch` | Ensures that all Zesty Disk (Btrfs) mount points are in synch with the operating system to be automatically mounted at the next reboot. | N |
| `-–force` | Forces the creation of a new filesystem on the device even if the device already contains a filesystem or data. Caution: This flag overwrites any existing data on the device. | N |
| `–add &lt;string&gt;` | To start the filesystem with more than one volume, add the volume name. You can add multiple devices as a comma-separated list, without spaces (for example, `/dev/nvme3na,/dev/nvme4n1`) | N |

#### Prerequisites

- Zesty Disk Agent is installed

The zestyctl CLI is installed as part of the Agent installation. For more information, see [Install the Zesty Disk Agent on standalone instances](/v1/docs/install-the-zesty-disk-agent).
- Root access to the Linux instance
