the is reminds me that when I fo\irst started palying with linux, and
was never sure if things were mounted properly or not, I do something
like

touch /mnt/floppy  NOT_MOUNTED

so if I did an ls on that dir I'd know immediately that a floppy wasn't
mounted. Of course when it was mounted I'd see the contents od the
floppy (or nothing). This applies to anything else you mount, including
over nfs.
