    The document describes how to use bind mounts in Linux to extend storage space. It explains that a directory with pictures can be moved to another location with extra space and then bound back to the original location to free up space in the home directory. The bind mount is made persistent by adding an entry to /etc/fstab specifying the source and target directories to mount on startup.
