title: Mount point does not exist, even though folder exists. Able to mount manually
body: <p>I am running CentOS Guest on a Windows Host in VirtualBox.
  I have created an additional hard-drive /dev/sdb and it has 1 partition /dev/sdb1 with my mysql data.</p>
  
  <p>I want to mount it to /mysql at runtime and create a symlink from /var/lib/mysql to /mysql</p>
  
  <p>But when I try to mount I get this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>[root@localhost mysql]# mount -a</p>
    
    <p>mount: mount point /myqsl does not exist</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But of course the file does exist!</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>[root@localhost mysql]# cd /mysql/</p>
    
    <p>[root@localhost mysql]# cd ..</p>
    
    <p>[root@localhost /]# ls -l | grep mysql</p>
    
    <p>drwxr-xr-x   2 root  root   4096 Nov 19 04:55 mysql</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Oh and did I mention I am able to mount like this:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>[root@localhost /]# mount /dev/sdb1 /mysql/</p>
    
    <p>[root@localhost /]# cd /mysql</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>This is the line in my /etc/fstab file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/dev/sdb1 /myqsl ext3 bind 0 0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am basically very confused. Someone please clarify!</p>
