Description

What is this PR

Why is this PR needed? I messed up and unintentionally deleted some user data this week. This was because I mounted the same drive on two different folders (/media/something/ and /mnt/something/) and then decided I didn't want that. So I did sudo rm -r /mnt/something/ and started deleting files. I immediately realised and hit Ctrl+C but it was too late to prevent file loss entirely (at least only some files were deleted). Luckily looks like it's recoverable... :sweat_smile:

What does this PR do? Adds a warning to the mounting instructions.
