   it's completely invalid for an ext4 filesystem, among other things.   
      
   I'm going to assume this is an NFS mount, in which case   
      
     mount -t nfs 192.168.1.120:/backups/data /mnt/monty/data   
      
   assuming, of course, "/backups/data" is the correct path on the remote   
   machine.
