And my point is that for a one time copy, its was handy. I didn't have 
to mkdir a mount point for it.

This whole thing has just one objective, making a copy of the raid10 
/home onto a single drive that I could us to edit the raid out of fstab, 
substituting the single drive copy. This raid has 2 of its 4 drives 
complaining to smartctl.  Get my data off it, by whatever means works.
